I know this is an old bug, but it still affects 12.04 LTS and I just ran into it.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 887983] Re: Preview pane does not refresh after previewing a very large message
This is happening for me as well. On three different devices (all 12.04). Only happens on long messages. These messages typically have been group discussions with multiple replies. The norm here is showing previous emails in the thread with "<" on each line of the previous thread. I got to thinking about this and the response I found from an Evolution developer saying this is related to gtkHTML. I configured evolution (edit->preferences->mail preferences->html messages) to use Plain text mode by selecting the option to "Show suppressed HTML parts as attachments" and HTML Mode as "Only ever show plain text". Now I can't replicate the problem. HTML portions of inbound email are now attachments, which I can choose to view inline (handy because get a fair amount of email that is only html). I think gtkHTML is getting blown away by what it thinks is an enormous amount of html open tags and no closing ones. But that is just a hunch, I did not try to verify it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887983 Title: Preview pane does not refresh after previewing a very large message Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Step to reproduce: 1) receive a very large (> 210k) plain text message (no attachements, just text in the body) 2) click on it and get it shown in the preview pane 3) select another message (same folder, another folder, doesn't matter) and see that the preview pane always shows the very large message previewed in 2) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: evolution 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Nov 9 11:46:16 2011 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evolution UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-10 (29 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/887983/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Update: On another bugreport for the same issue, someone recommended this workaround : LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 exec evolution This will disable the new fancy scrollbars for evolution, but will also make it immune to the above bug. One can make a wrapper script to launch evolution with this environment variable. Someone should check this bug out, it's clear that either evolution or some toolkit components (gtk/gdk) has an issue with those new scrollbars. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887983 Title: Preview pane does not refresh after previewing a very large message Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Step to reproduce: 1) receive a very large (> 210k) plain text message (no attachements, just text in the body) 2) click on it and get it shown in the preview pane 3) select another message (same folder, another folder, doesn't matter) and see that the preview pane always shows the very large message previewed in 2) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: evolution 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Nov 9 11:46:16 2011 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evolution UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-10 (29 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/887983/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I have this issue too.

I confirm this bug, but also while scrolling the "large text email" the preview pane get broken You can see the effect in the screenshot attached.
