 Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2025 5:26 pm Post subject: mail-client/evolution double copy-paste issue |
 |
|
I've been using mail-client/evolution for 20 years and recently a strange problem appears: when I paste something with the middle mouse button while editing an email, it results in a double paste.
I've been trying to investigate the problem for a couple of weeks now and it seems that
- double paste only when the mail is in plain text or html mode (no bug with markdown modes)
- the double paste is decomposed as one paste at the time of the mouse button press and the second paste at the time of the button release
Related environment:
- ~amd64 system
- xorg-server
- openbox (session with dbus)
- mail-client/evolution-3.52.4-r2
USE: archive bogofilter highlight libnotify sound spell ssl -geolocation -gtk-doc -ldap -selinux -spamassassin -weather -ytnef
- gnome-extra/evolution-data-server
USE: gtk introspection oauth-gtk3 sound -berkdb -gnome-online-accounts -gtk-doc -kerberos -ldap -oauth-gtk4 -test -vala -weather
Is anyone can observe the same problem ?

| Does it happen with another mouse also? It might be also a hardware problem. |

It is not a hardware problem as the system register perfectly press/release mouse button using xev or other debug tool and the double paste problem only happen with evolution, and not everywhere else (browser, text editor, shell, ...).
To be more accurate it happens only in evolution mail composer (plain text and html mode and not in markdown mode).
No problem in other part of evolution as memo edition for example.

A mate have observed the same issue on his box on gentoo with a different desktop environment.
I've tried to downgrade evolution and evolution-data-server to 3.50.4 and the problem is still here so I wonder if the problem can be related to a dependency (gtk one ?).
I've opened a ticket on gnome gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/2955

Just for your information.
I tested on my RPI5 gnome systemd environment. I am not able to produce a condition like yours.
My Evolution version is 3.50.4
| Code: | emerge -pv evolution gnome-extra/evolution-data-server
[ebuild R ] mail-client/evolution-3.50.4-r1:2.0::gentoo USE="bogofilter spell ssl weather -archive -geolocation -gtk-doc -highlight -ldap (-selinux) -spamassassin -ytnef" 0 KiB
[ebuild R ] gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-3.50.4:0/64-11-21-4-2-27-2-27-4-0::gentoo USE="gtk introspection vala weather -berkdb -gnome-online-accounts -gtk-doc -kerberos -ldap -oauth-gtk3 -oauth-gtk4 -test" 0 KiB
