Hello, I have exactly the same problem in Ubuntu Edgy 2.8.1-0ubuntu4 when upgrading from Dapper.
I've a patch that solves it. The problem is in widgets/table/e-tree.c. I have no previous experience with evolution code, but I've done the same thing that is already present in widgets/table/e-table.c, so I assume it is correct. BTW, are there ubuntu developpers reading this or do I have to open a bug in Ubuntu's BTS? Regards, Josep
