RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
When I drag&drop text from gedit(or xchat or even evolution itself or anything else really) to evolution new message composer several times in a row, I am unable to make any more actions.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.22.6-4.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start evolution.
2. Click on New button.
3. Open gedit, type some word (e.g. 'test').
4. Select word in gedit.
5. Drag the word over evolution new message composer and drop the word.
6. Repeat steps 4-5.
Actual results:
It seems as everything freezes and I am unable to control anything via mouse.
Expected results:
Word is correctly added in message composer.
Additional info:
At first I thought whole gnome-shell has frozen, but I am able to move mouse, while unable to click on anything, so in attachment_1 is X log with data during the freeze - the idea was that control was taken from mouse and not returned. In attachment_2 there is backtrace of evolution during the freeze. Also I witnessed that when I kill the app that I was dragging from, everything returns to normal and I am able to continue my actions. I do not know if that information has any value, but as I am unable to locate the source of problem, anything can help. I will also be grateful for any tip or guide how to debug this problem.
Tested manually on x86_64, ppc64le and aarch64 using evolution-3.22.6-10.el7
I tried to drag one line as well as multiline texts from gedit to an Evolution's "Compose Message" window (in Plain Text and even HTML mode). The described problem did not appear.
