Package: evolution Version: 3.26.0-1 Severity: normal Evolution has recently started to fail to restore the message pane sizes each time it starts up. Whether in Classic or Vertical view it opens with an approximate 2:1 split between the message list pane and message preview, ie the former is twice as big as the latter, so the message preview is too small.
Strangely, when I tried 3.22.6-1/stable and 3.24.5-3/testing they both had the same problem (although 3.22 seemed to use a 1:1 split) even though I only started to experience it since a dist-upgrade (unstable) yesterday. So I think some sort of interaction with another component has caused this, which is why I'm reporting it here instead of upstream. With dconf-editor open I can see the /org/gnome/evolution/mail/paned-size or hpaned-size values changing when I move the border between the panes, but they seem to change the opposite way I would expect, because the schema descriptions say they're the size of the message-list pane, but they get smaller if I increase the size of the message list (reducing the size of the message preview). The default value for paned-size's schema is 144, but when I load Evolution in Classic View it gets set to 192. In Vertical View hpaned-size gets set to 357, its default is 450. FWIW I'm using GNOME on Wayland with a hidpi display of 2560x1440. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.11.16+really1.10.22-1 ii evolution-common 3.26.0-1 ii evolution-data-server 3.26.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libcamel-1.2-60 3.26.0-1 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.8.4-1 ii libecal-1.2-19 3.26.0-1 ii libedataserver-1.2-22 3.26.0-1 ii libevolution 3.26.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.0-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.21-1 ii libical2 2.0.0-0.5+b1 ii libnotify4 0.7.7-2 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.60.0-1 ii libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 2.16.6-1 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-4 ii psmisc 23.1-1 Versions of packages evolution recommends: ii evolution-plugin-bogofilter 3.26.0-1 ii evolution-plugin-pstimport 3.26.0-1 ii evolution-plugins 3.26.0-1 ii yelp 3.22.0-1 Versions of packages evolution suggests: pn evolution-ews <none> pn evolution-plugins-experimental <none> ii gnupg 2.2.0-3 ii network-manager 1.8.2-1 -- debconf information: evolution/needs_shutdown: evolution/kill_processes:
