Hi :) Evolution crashes if I sort mails by subject. I got the obligatory reply at the Evolution mailing list, that usually other users get, when having an issue with Evolution. "It should be the fault of the distro", in my case Arch Linux. I don't think so, however, can anybody sort mails by subject with an up to date Arch Linux install? Reporting the bug to upstream seems to be useless. Perhaps something is broken for Arch or my Arch install only.

Of course they change; releases done to include changes.
at the moment it's annoying for me that Evolution crashes when I try to sort by subject.
Something in your distributions is *seriously* broken. That is not Evolution. I have not seen Evolution crash for a very long time; and I *use* it every single day for 8+ hours.
I'm serious and not trolling. What distro does provide a stable Evolution?
openSUSE. At least it is entirely stable for me, on my hardware.
It's in the mail header, but FWIW, the version is 3.10.2 on a 64-bit up to date Arch Linux, IOW every dependency should be the current stable release from upstream. I don't remember when the issue started, but it seems to be one of the issues that appeared after upgrading other software, IOW seemingly something from the dependency chain.
Of course, everything of significance is built on a dependency chain. It is a problem when people believe it is OK to just willy-nilly upgrade random parts of that chain. That component W is a stable release does not mean that X, Y, and Z will run using it without issue; X, Y, and Z may need to be updated to reflect changes in W. Or at least QC needs to occur.
Anyway, again, 3.8.x was stable for me, and 3.10.x is stable for me. I sort, and search, and read, and send... all day long.
Neither Arch Linux nor I do willy-nilly upgrade something, but I will forward this to Arch general mailing list. I'm using Linux only for more then 10 years. Suse isn't an option for my needs. Regards, Ralf
