[Evolution] Bug#676837: evolution: Can't select text or click on links properly

[Kees de Jong]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.2.2-1+b1
Severity: important

Hi,


If this bug is not Debian related then I'm sorry. But since the freeze is
coming very soon I rather report it directly to you guys instead of waiting for
a reaction on bugzilla from the Evolution team. I however will report this
upstream anyway
after this bug report is finished.

I have two problems:
1) When I want to click on a link inside an email then it selects text. When I
click beside the text selection with my left mouse button then it selects even
more text in a random fashion. This makes it impossible to open links normally.
To open them anyway, I need to close the email I'm attempting to open a link
from. Then reopen the mail and then open the link by clicking the right mouse
button and select 'open with browser'.

2) When I do want to select text then the text selection jumps everywhere. So
it's nearly impossible to select the text that I want to select.

I can reproduce this bug on two Wheezy machines. I like to hear from you guys.



Thank you.
