Public bug reported:
I can reproduce this bug in Ubuntu 12.10 using Evolution 3.5.5 by taking
the following steps:
Move a message to a different folder or sub-folder.
Immediately click on an unread message.
After doing this, you will still be able to interact with Evolution,
click on messages, access the menus, etc. However, the bottom bar will
show a ton of status updates and each time you click it will start a new
one. However, the first one never resolves and the message is never
moved. Meanwhile, new mail will not be downloaded.
I found similar behavior when printing (which doesn't work at all for me
for some reason). It says it is printing, and then refuses to complete
any other action until the printing is finished. Even clicking the stop
button on those status actions just makes them show (cancelling) next to
the message, but it never actually cancels. Additionally, Evolution will
refuse to go offline, and will refuse to close.
The only way I have found to recover is to kill evolution with -9.
Regular kill does not do it.
Definitely a regression compared to the version in 10.04 and 11.10. Not
sure about 12.04.
Because this happens for a wide variety of tasks, it may already have
been reported, but I do not know what exactly to search for. Sorry if it
is a duplicate, but it is quite frustrating.
