bug#39584: evolution: involid page id error when composing emails

[Christopher Howard]

I'm eager to give the patch a try. I've never learned yet how to add add a source patch to a package definition, so it might take me some time to get to it if I had no help. Is there an ETA on Gnome 3.34?

Hi, I use evolution heavily, current 3.32.4 from Guix. I updated my

guix user packages and guix system about a week ago. When composing

emails, I occasionally see an error similar to this appear in a box

above the message composition area:

gdbus.error:org.freedesktop.dbus.error.invalidargs: invalid page id:

165

While the error is there, I cannot save the email to drafts or send it.

To resolve, I must copy the email contents to another program, then

restart evolution to create the email again. It seems to be very

random, but I'd guess it happens once about every five to ten emails I

send.

Searching the web for the error message leads to these bug reports:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1757243

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/587

Apparently Evolution does not work properly with WebKitGTK 2.26.

Backporting all the upstream changes looks cumbersome, but I suppose we

could do something like this until we have GNOME 3.34:

Thoughts?  Are you able to give it a try?

Thanks,

Marius
