Evolution Copy & Paste

Hi,

Evolution (1.4.5) is really starting to annoy me now. It seems copy & paste using the normal X clipboard (Select and middlemouse button) "kind of" works, in that it will copy from evolution and paste into any other app - but without any line breaks. The whole thing just pastes as one, big line.

It's only evolution as well. Any other Gnome, GTK app works just like it should.

Has anyone seen this before/got any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Has anyone got a solution for this?

I have asked the same question couple of weeks ago, but there was no solution.

For me, it happens only for copy|cut&paste from Evolution to any other applications. But copy|cut&paste within evolution works fine; cut|copy&paste into evolution works fine too.

This is annoying for me because evolution stand-by its princilple and do not support inline PGP, fine with me ... until the cut&paste starts to break as well.

In addition, I have also noticed that cut&paste from evolution does not copy correctly if you select too large a block at one time.
