Description Matthew Saltzman 2013-09-01 01:31:42 UTC
Description of problem:
The email option for disposition of a scan in simple-scan-3.8.0-1.fc19.x86_64 causes evolution to crash.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.8.5-2.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure evolution is your default mail client
2. Scan a document with simple-scan
3. Under simple-scan's File menu, select 'email'

Actual results:
Compose window opens with scan attached; evolution crashes.

Expected results:
Compose window opens with scan attached; evolution doesn't crash.

Additional info:
Not sure if this is a simple-scan issue or an evolution issue. Filed under evolution because that's what actually crashes.

The crash does not produce an abrt report, for some reason.

Comment 1 Milan Crha 2013-09-02 13:04:19 UTC
Thanks for a bug report. I see it constructs the execution command like:
   mailto:?attach=/tmp/scan96022W.jpg
at least for me, when I do not have any real scanner available (this is after fresh run of the simple-scan and clicking Document->Email).

Could you provide a backtrace (with debuginfo package for at least evolution) of the crash, please? I guess you face [1], but I cannot tell for sure without the backtrace. Thanks in advance.

Comment 2 Matthew Saltzman 2013-09-02 21:41:17 UTC
Yeah, well, now I can't reproduce it.  It was crashing reliably when I filed the bug, and I haven't even rebooted or anything.  Will follow up when it's reproducible again.

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2013-09-03 06:40:42 UTC
Thanks for the update. Maybe it really is the upstream bug I mentioned in comment #1, it isn't reproducible reliably too - it depends on "proper" timing. I'm closing this for now, but feel free to reopen, when you have the backtrace. I can compare it with the upstream backtrace and see how much it is the same.
