Description Uri Barkan 2011-05-28 10:27:11 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

I updated from F14 to F15 a few days ago. On F14 I didn't have evolution installed. I decided to give it a try with F15. I installed it with yum (yum install evolution), configured my email account, and used it once. When I clicked on the calendar button, Evolution crashed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Fedora 15.
2.Remove Evolution.
3.Install Evolution.
4.Launch Evolution.
5. Switch to Calendar.
Actual Results:  
Evolution crashes.

Expected Results:  
Evolution should have switched to Calendar view.

Turn off accessibility features and the crash should go away.

Comment 4 Uri Barkan 2011-05-30 21:11:42 UTC
How do I turn off accessibility features in gnome 3? When I click the accessibility icon on the top panel, all features are set to off. Is that enough?

Thanks for a bug report. This particular one had been reported already, thus I'm marking it as a duplicate.

With respect of turning off accessibility, I'm not sure, but I would try to run gnome-session-properties and turn off services like AT SPI and Orca, if enabled. And then restart the machine.

Are you sure it's a duplicate? The path leads to bug 649400 which describes a crash when trying to send an email. Mine occurs when switching to calendar view.

I disabled AT SPI and ORCA in my start up list, but I still get the accessibility icon in the top panel with its menu, and evolution still crashes. A workaround will be highly appreciated, as the bug in Gnome bugzilla (#330728) is open from 2006, and using Fedora (or any other OS for that matter) without a proper Email client is not an appealing idea.

Yes, it's a common code used on a custom widget which is reused in all views of evolution.

Hrm, I do not know why they hid it. And I'm unfortunately not aware of anything else. This might be a question for gtk3 or gnome-shell developers.
