Ok, I tried it three times and it crashed always (My view is divided
into pieces of 15 minutes):

1. single click, "test", dragging to 10:30 --> crash
2. delete the old event, single click, "Test", dragging to 10:30 -->
crash
3. delete the old event, double clicking, "Test", duration 0.5 h,
dragging to 11 --> crash

- I forgot to say, that after starting evolution again, the event has
been altered. So it crashes after writing it into the calendar.

evolution-exchange is not installed.

It is the default calendar (On this computer: Personal). I have set up
some webdav and caldav calendars, but they are not enabled (turned of).

Not that I know of. Just the standard ones (Edit --> Plugins) are all
enabled (names translated by myself from German to English):

Disable Account
Mark all Read
Itip-format
GroupWise-AccountSetup
Exchange-procedure
local addressbook
guideline-sources
calendar publication
setup assistant
Hula-account-setup
print messages
weather calendar
http calendar
spamassassin plugin
caldav-sources
groupwise-functions
local calendar


Thank you for your help to solve this. Can I provide anything else?
