Hi,
we look on the same thing in a different ways. My point of view:
the *current* stable version is 3.12.x (right now 3.12.7). This 
current stable version doesn't suffer of the issue described for 3.10 
version. It's not my fault that your distribution uses obsolete 
evolution version; I do not have any influence on it. The bug as such 
is fixed, in the *current* stable version. The 3.10 is dead for the 
upstream. Nonetheless, my intention was to provide a fix for such 
distributions anyway, in a way I chose. I'm not going to commit the 
patch to the gnome-3-10 branch, I do not like to add changes into dead 
branches, where no releases will be done.
Bye,
Milan

Rather than burying the patch in Bugzilla or on a dead git branch, I 
suggest sending it to distributor-l...@gnome.org with an explanation of 
what versions are affected.


Then if any other complaints crop up you can show that distributors 
still shipping an unsupported Evolution release have been informed.

well, I know this, I run 3.12 as well.  That's why the bugzilla is
opened against 3.10.x.  To close it as fixed becuase it's not a problem
in 3.12.x is a brazen lie.

  It's not my fault that your distribution uses obsolete 
 evolution version; I do not have any influence on it. The bug as such 
 is fixed, in the *current* stable version. The 3.10 is dead for the

Fine so close it as WONTFIX if you're not maintaining a 3.10.x fixes
branch ... it's not rocket science.
