Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 472859
Cannot launch "Permissions" of a folder from File->Permissions
Last modified: 2014-06-02 09:03:49 EDT
Description of problem: Click on a folder and go to File->Permissions,window doesn't popup and only get following error message in terminal: (evolution:30542): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed Whereas right click on the folder to choose "Permissions" works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.12.3-8.el5_2.3 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. choose a folder, go to File->Permissions 2. problem presents 3. Actual results: Cannot set permissions of a folder from File->permissions. Expected results: Both from File menu and right-click menu should be able to launch Permissions window. Additional info:
Note this refers to folders in an Exchange account and requires the "Exchange Operations" plugin be enabled. I'm slightly seeing different behavior. Either both File -> Permissions... and the right-click menu work, or they both don't. But it seems to vary from folder to folder. Don't see a pattern yet.
This is probably worth taking a look at. Couple be a simple fix to an irritating bug. Proposing it for 5.4.
