The bug that is causing this is a GTK bug. In https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597974 It was revealed that https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581150 was the cause.

I do experience the same problem, from time to time to time dragging an attachment from nautlus will produce the described symptoms. IMO this doesn't have anything to do with the size of the file, though - try using the "send to" dialog in nautilus - this way evolutions ends up eating all the resources in 100% of cases, even with files (odt) as small as 33 Kb, at least this is how it look on my machine (macbook pro 5,5, Karmic Beta). -- [karmic] attaching certain file causes evolution to choke taking more than 600MB of memory, while composing an e-mail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirmed: attaching normal jpg fotographs (testen with app 600K an 6 mb) freezes the whole system.

Sometimes very very very slow with high disactivity (bear freeze?) , with a lot of luck logout: 2 messeages that evolution is still running, logingout anyway, login in - system monitor- evolution and evolution data server still running In other words: Impossible to add an attachment in evolution..

Got the hint in Bug #443028 to use the list view for attachments instead of the iconview.

I used tcsh's limit command to limit memoryuse to 128M and vmemoryuse to 256M, started evolution, composed an email and attached the jpeg. Cpu usage immediately went to 99.9%, but I was able to do a 'kill -ABRT' and get a core dump. The process was in /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 when it died. On a hunch, I used 'System->Preferences->Appearance' to change the theme from 'LegacyHuman' to 'Human' and tried again. This time evolution behaves itself, although the progress bar animation that appears as the attachment is read is awfully jerky (but I can live with that). Could this be a gtk bug? The core file is 181 megabytes, so I'm just attaching a typesrcipt file showing the gdb which command. ** Attachment added: "evolution-core.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33370392/evolution-core.txt -- [karmic] attaching certain file causes evolution to choke taking more than 600MB of memory, while composing an e-mail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Attaching a 1.2 megabyte jpeg to an email results in the same behaviour. Running karmic beta with updates, evolution 2.28.0-0ubuntu4, kernel 2.6.31-12-generic. In my case I have to hit the power button to regain control.

The same does not happen with 6mb of random data (courtesy of /dev/urandom).
