Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.3-5
Severity: important
Tags: upstream squeeze l10n lenny
When composing an E-mail message with Hebrew, sometimes Evolution
freezes - the UI becomes unresponsive and the process consumes 100% CPU
time (my PC does not freeze because the processor is multi-core and the
other cores are free for other tasks).
Memory consumption does not seem to make a significant jump.
I saw the problem in both Lenny and Squeeze installations.
In the ~/.xsession-errors, I saw the following error messages:
(evolution-alarm-notify:3492): evolution-alarm-notify-WARNING **: alarm.c:252: Requested removal of nonexistent alarm!
(process 3492 is:
$ ps ax | egrep 3492
3492 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/evolution/2.30/evolution-alarm-notify
)
The following line appears several times:
(firefox-bin:3675): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
(process 3675 is:
$ ps ax | egrep 3675
3675 ? SLl 553:20 /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin
and I have 4 iceweasel windows open in parallel to Evolution, each one
has several tabs. My iceweasel version is:
ii iceweasel 3.5.16-6
)
I do not have a reliable way to reproduce the bug, but it occurs when I
move the cursor around in Hebrew text. It probably is related to
bidirectional text (when the other text is either Latin or digits, which
are LTR text embedded within RTL text).
