           Summary: [Breezy] "Reply to" fails to quote the message
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: evolution

A very strange one started happening a couple days ago.

When I reply to message, the composing window comes up, but sometimes, instead
of quoting the body of the mail I am replying to, it prints the content of the
clipboard !

For example, say I was browsing the web, say I have an URL or some text/words in
the clipboard. Then I try to reply to somone on the Ubuntu list, the composing
window comes up, and what do I see in it ???? Yes, I see whatver tyext or URL I
had in the clipboard, but I will not see the text of the e-mail I am trying to
reply to !! Weird.

I have noticed that Evolution has a feature whereby if I select part of the text
of an e-mail with the mouse, then "reply to" it, the composing window quotes
only the part of the message that I had selected (just selected, NOT "copied")
instead of the entire message.
So maybe Evolution is mixing things and sometimes (it happens at random, I don't
know how to trigger it), mistakes the content of the clipboard, for a genuine
text selection that the user could have high-lighted in the body of the e-mail
he is replying to.

At any rate, once it starts doing it, the only way to fix it (until it starts
again ! :-/ ) is to close evolution and restart it.

Very annoying...
