From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: When creating a new email signature, Evolution doesn't check whether a signature of the same name is already defined. If so, more of equally named signatories are present, what is quite confusing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.6-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to Tools/Settings, select Mail Accounts 2. choose one of the accounts 3. click edit 4. click Add new signature... 5. name the signature as 'foo', save 6. click Add new signature... 7. name the signature as 'foo', save Actual Results: two equally named 'foo' and 'foo' signatories are present in the signature selection dialog Expected Results: Evolution should warn or request rename of signature if a signature of the same name is already present. Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
This bug isn't a security issue, but still occurs in FC4t2. Updating version.
This bug should really be filed upstream. Most upstream authors use a bug tracking system like bugzilla, and more people who know the code will be looking at the bug report there. The upstream bug tracking system to use is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org Please make sure the bug isn't already in the upstream bug tracker before filing it.
