[Evolution] Bug#529176: evolution: Compose window disappears every so often in the middle of editing

Package: evolution
Version: 2.26.1.1-2
Severity: normal


This has been happening to me for a while and I thought it would
disappear with an upgrade but it hasn't in months.  When I'm composing
an e-mail, every so often the window always disappears.  To get my
changes, I have to quit evolution, restart and then accept the recovery
option, which brings back the window.  This is very inconvenient because
it does not allow me to do other things while writing the e-mail.  It
always disappears.  Please, is there a fix for this?  Thanks.
