** Description changed: - Binary package hint: evolution + affects Ubuntu 10.04 Beta + and version of indicator-messages: + ~$ apt-cache policy indicator-messages + indicator-messages: + Installed: 0.3.6-0ubuntu1 + Candidate: 0.3.6-0ubuntu1 + Version table: + *** 0.3.6-0ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - evolution's integration into the indicator applet is a welcome step, as everyone i ask agrees. - problem is: when i choose "mail" from the indicator applet drop-down menu, it opens the overall window of evolution, regardless whether there already is an open evolution window for e.g. "contacts" or "tasks". + and: using Evolution 2.28.3 - reproduce: - 1. click the envelope (indicator applet icon for messaging services - 2. select "mail" - 3. wait until evolution opens - 4. click the envelope again - 5. select "contacts" + what i expected to happen: + after configuring thunderbird as default mailing app in "System > Preferences > Preferred Applications", i expected it to open upon clicking "Mail" in the messaging menu of the indicator applet. + what happened instead: + upon clicking "Mail" in the messaging menu, i was taken to the wrong application, i.e. Evolution instead of Thunderbird. - i'm using ubuntu lucid beta, upgraded from karmic + further problems: + as i repeated this step for "Contacts" from the messaging menu, the same problem appeared. + after the overview windows for "Contacts" and "Mail" had now been opened in the wrong application, i repeated step 1 (clicked "Mail" from the messaging menu) which took me to "Contacts" overview in Evolution. + wrong app upon click, wrong page within app. + + possible solution path: + go by the spec as Omer suggests and quotes in comments 3 and 4: + re-launch the mailing application on the correct page respectively. + + this is a network of problems, that involves Evolution Indicator, "Preferred Applications" and indicator-messages. + i will try to further update the description in here, to illustrate the problem matrix, as i find or file related issues in the other related packages. + + thanks for investing all the energy into this so far!
