Description of problem:
The Input and use of backspace to delete character in any Indic locale is just horrible in evolution New Mail Compose section. It is behaving beyond any QA acceptance level.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.32.3.33.el6
evolution-dataserver-2.32.3.20.el6
evolution-exchange-2.32.3.16.el6
evolution-mapi-0.32.2-12.el6
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL6.6 (20140820.0 rel-eng tree) with bn_IN, hi_IN, or other Indic
locales
2. Start evolution and Compose a New Mail
3. Select HTML from the format
4. Insert a table with min 2-3 number of rows and columns
5. Place the cursor in any cell of the table
6. Select Indic IME (bengali Itrans, hindi itrans for example) with CTRL+SPACE
key press (or in any other custom way you wish to launch IME)
(You need to first add these IMEs from IBUS input method Preferences.
7. For Bengali Itrans, Type Satyabrata and a space after that.
8. Now Press Backspace key to delete character typed just, one by one (One
backspace at a time), and do it 2-3 times
9. Watch the cursor movement carefully
10. Keep doing the same thing repeatedly couple of times.
Actual results:
After step 8, you will find the cursor in some other cell for once (Keep pressing Backspace), then cursor again come back to your cell where you typed, then again go back to some other cell.
After step 10 when you keep typing, you will find some preselected(highlighted) pretext already appeared. and its just not the proper Input or delete by backspace. Behaving pathetic.
Expected results:
Input should be proper, Delete with backspace should follow all the rule of using backspace with deletion. No pretext should appear automatically.
Additional info:
Screen shot will not work here, so, not attaching any screen shot.

Some terminal error observed during the cursor jump or focusing time
In fact, there were some terminal error or messages observed when the typed text was being deleted through backspace.
