Description of problem: Since last round of Cauldron updates - I can not use Evolution main client. The CPU usage on the X server and evolution go real high and it hangs or is REAL slow. If I kill evolution process - the X server CPU goes down to normal (1-2%) Not sure if this is realted to new Xorg - GTK-3 or something else Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-3.13.2-1.mga5 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Mageia 2. Start Evolution 3. Program hangs and CPU very high for X server and Evolution Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Severity: major => critical
UPDATE - After messing around a bit - I discovered that when I clock on a folder (and it says below "generating message list" - or it simply doesn't show any message in the folder - if I go to the menu bar - and choose ANY menu item and scroll down the menu list - the messages then appear in the folder. So no matter what forder I choose - the shows blank UNTIL I scroll through the menu list (like edit, view, message, etc.) VERY ODD!
This also applies to the problem of searching a folder - when, during a search - it appears to hang - but when I scroll through the menu list - the search completes and I get the correct results. The CPU issue then settles down again
bug reported upstream ?

I have not reported upstream because Evolution was working fine before the Xorg and GTK3 updates on Cauldron - So I am somewhat convinced it is a Mageia Cauldron issue not an Evolution specific problem
This is happening on all my systems (laptop, desktop, etc) - so it it is NOT machine specific. Due to this major issue - I am forced to use Thunderbird as a stopgap measure (and Thunderbird seem not to be as reliable as Evolution!!)
gtk3 is also upstream, and if you follow the changelogs ml or search a little here, you will see it could be an issue with gtk3/the apps
Since lastest Cauldron updates (which included a newer gtk3 update) - strangely I have a partial fix. On my Thinkpad X220 (Intel graphics based) - the problem with Evolution seems to have gone away. On my main desktop (NVidia GTX 760 based running Nouveau) - the same issue remains (see comment 1 above) At the same time I am struggling to get the NVidia proprietary drivers running again on the main desktop machine (see bug 13519) So progress is being made - but there is still something sticking here . ..
I now have the latest evolution and GTK3: evolution-data-server-3.13.3-1.mga5 evolution-3.13.3-5.mga5 lib64oxygen-gtk3-1.4.0-1.mga5 lib64canberra-gtk3_0-0.30-4.mga4 lib64webkit2gtk3.0_25-2.4.3-1.mga5 packagekit-gtk3-module-0.8.14-4.mga5 lib64avahi-ui-gtk3_0-0.6.31-9.mga5 lib64javascriptcoregtk3.0_0-2.4.3-1.mga5 lib64webkitgtk3.0_0-2.4.3-1.mga5 lib64spice-client-gtk3.0_4-0.25-1.mga5 oxygen-gtk3-1.4.0-1.mga5 lib64dbusmenu-gtk3_4-12.10.2-2.mga4 As mentioend on the previous post - My Thinkpad X220 now works fine with Evolution (was hanging before) - but my main machine is still not working. The only difference is the Nouveau driver vs. Intel graphics. I don't know of there is a clean way to reset the evolution and GTK3 setting back to defaults - I don't want to lose the Evolution mail repositories. I still think this is graphics driver related.
Seem to work now - will close
