evolution programs crashes when using inside calendar

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a '.crash' file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

 If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

 If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.
 I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

I have the same Problem, first

I think I am having the same problem. It doesn't seem to generate anything in /var/crash.

Evolution would crash every time I tried to go to the calendar.

When I ran evolution from the command line, I did not have the same problem. When I removed "--component email" from the launcher, it also stopped having the problem.

From the command line:

$ evolution --component mail
** (evolution:11195): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s
** (evolution:11195): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution

** (evolution:11195): WARNING **: Couldn't open http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/..../basic.ics: Operation not supported by backend
Changing the queries (contains? "summary" "")

$

$ evolution
** (evolution:11257): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s
** (evolution:11257): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution

** (evolution:11257): WARNING **: Couldn't open http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/..../basic.ics: Operation not supported by backend

(evolution:11257): libecal-WARNING **: e-cal.c:318: Unexpected response

$

I'm attaching a gdb backtrace of the crash.

same bug, when opening calendar
last output always:
Changing the queries (contains? "summary" "")
Segmentation Fault

could you disable the accesibility options of your session and see if it's still an issue? also the backtrace is missing a few symbols you might want to install the following packages: at-spi-dbgsym, libglib2.0-0-dbgsym, libgtk2.0-0-dbgsym, evolution-dbgsym and get a new one, thanks for the help.

Disabling ATK obviously hides the behaviour. At least for me evolution now runs stable.

how do you disable atk ?
when i trying to apt-get remove libatk, it shows many important
packages to uninstall...

do you still get the issue? could you get a gdb stracktrace?

Disabling the Assistive Technologies - saved the Evolution from crashing and
I confirm this.

the issue is similar to bug #270271

Here's my second attempt at a backtrace with more debug symbols installed. Yes, it only crashes if Assistive Technologies are enabled.

Yes, fixed....thank you!

that's a dup of bug 270271 then, marking it as such, thanks.
