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/959276 Title: Scrolling message in preview breaks rendering Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Very often my mail preview pane gets broken, scrolling the message renders it unusable. Only way to fix that is to restart Evolution. Reading messages in separate windows is affected, too. Please see screenshots.
