Created attachment 1075744 [details] stack trace Description of problem: Evolution hangs with 100% CPU in email composer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution.x86_64 3.16.5-1.fc22 How reproducible: This cannot be triggered at will. This time it happened when replying to an HTML email and deleting quoted emails that contain some small images Expected results: No hang Additional info: I collected two core dumps with gcore while the hang condition was going on. Attaching the stack traces. I can provide the core dump binaries on request. strace did not output anything.
In my opinion this might be a WebKit issue, but I am not sure.

Thanks for a bug report. I agree the backtraces show evolution somewhere in the WebKit code, thus it looks like a WebKit issue. Tomas, could you have a look, please? I checked the GNOME bugzilla and I didn't find anything similar there (the closest are closed as fixed, but also contain selection-related calls, whose are missing in the Christian's backtraces).
I never saw that composer could stuck this way (I use plain text composer, maybe that's the reason). There is nearly nothing to do about it as it could be similar to [0], but without reliable reproducer it's hard to guess what's causing it. [0] - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752997
I cannot find the email any more that caused this issue.
