It took me some time to discover that Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins works, but Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V doesn't. But it's same as in Fedora for me, there Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V doesn't work either, their are bound to actions in Edit menu, and tight to whole event, not the text in side editing widget.

How did you try to paste the text that it worked for you in Fedora and not in RHEL6, please?

Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2010-11-30 04:08:32 UTC
It sounds like this may be fixed upstream, so if we can locate the patch for it then we can look at backporting it.  Conditional NAK.

two things I noticed

1) if copy test outside list view (I used text from firefox), then it is working in Fedora (fedora 13) with Ctrl+V by editing any listed item

2) if try to copy & Paste within list view, then it is not correct in Fedora either (Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins is working)

in RHEL6.1, (evolution-2.28.3-10.el6), I am not able paste with Ctrl+V in List view (copied from firefox), even paste same data in Mail Search box), but Shift+Ins works

Comment 5 Suzanne Logcher 2011-03-28 21:12:40 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains 
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as an 
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to 
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the 
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

It might be good to retest with 2.32.3, when it's available (see comment #3).

I tested this with evolution-2.32.3-2.el6, and I can paste text in the List View, when using Ctrl+V or Shift+Ins, if the clipboard contains text. Ctrl+C is tricky, because it adds whole component to the clipboard, thus on paste is added the same event again. Is that basically the issue you claim about?

Err, I did reread the whole bug and I see the answer. The 2.32.3 works same wrong as 2.28.3. The list view should use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V the same way as it uses Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins, when editing text in the list view.

This is backported upstream patch. I will include it in one of the next builds, when I have more patches ready.
