This is not evolution per se, it's the gtk+gnome file selector dialogue.
0x00007f453b3778b1 in _gtk_entry_completion_popup (completion=0x7f45212df2d0)
at /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.17.2/gtk/gtkentrycompletion.c:1491
As such it makes parts of the GNOME desktop largely unusable
so I suggest moving it to gtk+ and raising the priority of this bug.
I'm seeing this bug too (see attachment), but eg firefox has it too.
You need to type a file name which has multiple possible completions
(eg ~/000 if you have any GIT patches laying around).
Here's a sequence to crash evolution
cd
touch 0000 0001
evolution --force-shutdown
evolution --component mail # wait for and focus it
C-n C-M 0000
it crashes when attemting to type the fourth 0.
And here's how to crash firefox
cd
touch 0000 0001
killall -9 firefox
firefox # wait for and focus it
C-o 0000
it crashes when attemting to type the fourth 0.
evolution log file attached.
