From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Galeon/1.3.17 Description of problem: evolution is wrapping urls that contains some chars like "-" or "+", which is very stupid. See window shot at http://rpm.livna.org/~anvil/Capture-Composer.png. Urls shouldnt be wrapper like that. Evo 1.x didnt have this problem. Version-Release number of selected component: evolution(0:2.0.2-1) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start evolution. 2. Ctrl-shit-m (new message) 3. paste a quite long url in the composer window. Actual Results: url is linewrapped. Additional info: FWIW, i'm using fr_FR.UTF-8 locale.
If you highlight the URL and change the format to "Preformat" from "Normal", evolution won't wrap it. -tduffy
Of course, I know this workaround, but evolution 1.x behaviour was smarter. It used not to wrap urls. There was no need to force "preformat".
I've just noticed this also applies to received mails as well (i.e. not in the composer, but in evolution mail rendering engine itself). Switching to FC3, since this bug definitly survived the upgraded from test3 to final release.
Fedora Core 3 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 FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
