Description Frank Ansari 2016-01-03 16:22:20 UTC
Description of problem:
In the Evolution mail client when I drag an email to another folder it is not moved there but copied. When I want to copy it I can either move and and delete the original mail from the inbox or I can use the menu. From the menu when I select "move" it works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Evolution 3.18.3

How reproducible:
Take a mail from the inbox and drag it to another folder.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Mail is copied.

Expected results:
Mail should be moved.

Additional info:
This works as it should when I choose "GNOME" instead of "GNOME Wayland" at gdm.
So it is a problem which occurs in Evolution only when Wayland is used.
I can reproduce this behavior.

You might want to check the most frequent wayland issues on fedora wiki, this one is reported here:

Here's the upstream bug for it:

Thanks for a bug report and the link to the upstream bug. I'm closing this as such, because there is no need to have two places to deal with one issue.
