Bug 651198

Created attachment 458923 [details]
File: backtrace

Thanks for a bug report. I tried to reproduce this, but I'm not able to. Could you be more concrete with steps and/or data, please? It seems to me that it depends on the surrounding text of the link too, but I wasn't able to find the correct one. Thanks in advance.

I also can't reproduce it, i'm so sorry, i have try to do same action but not ...

Hi,
I have fond how to reproduce 

1) Create 2 new mail with html format.

2) on the first one, i copy this information on it :

Bonjour,

Voici nos photos de vacances en Jordanie :

Deux façon d'y accéder :
- Les localiser sur la carte : il suffit de cliquer sur le post-it correspondant
        http://roumano.com/images/map.php?/category/18
                - Accès direct aux photos :
        <a photo here 72px*72px>
                
Gros bisous à tous
A bientôt 

Léonie et Christian

3) Still on the first one, create a new line at the end of the mail
4) Select & Copy this new line (empty)
5) Paste to the second mail : evolution crash.

Regards

Thanks for the update. I see I can reproduce it too, with actual git master and slightly simpler steps:
a) open composer
b) add an empty line, select it, deselect it
c) right-click with the mouse, see the Copy action is enabled, press it
d) right-click and choose Paste.

if the above was done in plain text mode then only a critical warning is printed on the console:
> composer-CRITICAL **: e_composer_paste_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed

if in the HTML mode, then the evolution crashes with the below backtrace. The only "issue" is that it is a different crash than the initial.

I committed a workaround for 2.32.1+ and filled an upstream bug [1] for the crash from the previous comment. I'm keeping this opened due to the initial report, where we are still looking for steps to reproduce.

[1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634411

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
