Hello,
I observe the same issue (composer begins to consume more and more
memory and then fills my RAM and Swap) since a while. It does not happen
quite often and I am also not able to give a step-by-step instruction to
reproduce the issue. Some time ago I wrote a mail, where the issue
appeared reproducible (I was able to kill evolution and when it started
again, it asked for continuing writing the mail and when I then typed
the exact text again, it again filled my memory). In such a case: How
could I examine the situation and provide "useful" data to solve this
annoying bug?
answers to questions in this report:
> But does this happen with short messages or with long messages?
Both. It doesn't seem to have a correlation.
> Do you write messages in HTML?
Never (only plain text).
> Do you use any special formatting?
No.
> Do you have spell checking turned on? If yes, for which language?
Yes (en_GB, en_US, de_DE).
> What type of accounts do you have configured?
Receiving just a local IMAP. Sending over POP3 and IMAP (the account
used most often is configured to sign the message with GnuPG by
default).
> Do you have anything "special" in your setup?
Not that I know.
> Are you aware of any non-Debian libs/apps installed in your box that
> might
> interefere with this?
No. Everything non-Debian should not interfere with evolution.
PS: The only thing I can tell is, that I observe the issue quite often,
when I paste or write commands in the mail (to e.g. tell somebody a
way, how to do something, then I use the syntax '# command ...' or '$
command ...') and when I have a lot of c&p work (there it seems to have
a correlation - the more often you do c&p, it becomes more probable,
that evolution shows this issue) done in the mail.
Regards, Daniel
