I'm getting the same behavior of Evolution getting stuck on "formatting message" with Karmic fully updated. Its has been happening for as long as I remember using Evolution, but in the last year it became problematic to the point that I have to deal with this multiple times each day.
I found that if I open a new window (by launching evolution again or using File->New Window), then the new window can show messages (including the original one that got the old window stuck) but the "formatting message" progress is still shown on all windows. The funny thing is this use case: 1. Browse to a message that gets Evo stuck in "formatting message" 2. Open a new window and browse to any message and wait for Evo to format it properly 3. Try to cancel the "formatting message" progress in either window - nothing happens 3. Close the original window that is stuck 4. The new window still shows the "formatting message" progress. Try to cancel it - immediate crash. Unfortunately apport doesn't detect this crash for some reason, so I can't submit a stack trace. -- Evolution hangs with "Formatting Message" after several hours https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175233 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
