Created attachment 358501 [details] Mail message with URL link that triggers bug Description of problem: If a URL ends with %, Evolution receives an exception from camel that it then cannot recover from; short of 'killall evolution', it no longer responds to user input. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.27.90-3.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start evolution on command line 2. click link on the email attached 3. see error message popping up -- verify on stderr Actual results: (evolution:7301): e-utils-WARNING **: GConf error: Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/": Key/directory may not end with a slash '/' %^Cp://people.redhat.com/mclasen/Screenshot-Applications%20for Expected results: Even if the URL is invalid, Evolution should be able to recover Additional info: In this case, it just happens that a valid link is line-wrapped at a particular point that triggers the bug.
Thnaks for the bug report. I cannot reproduce the "cannot recover" state. I can reproduce the terminal error from GConf, and I see the same also when invoking this command: $ gvfs-open http://www.example.com/file%20for% Thus I believe it's an error in gvfs. Evolution is using gvfs for URL openings now. I'm moving this to gvfs.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Looks like URLs cannot end in % anyway -- Apache throws an error page if such are entered to the browser.
