Bug Description
Ubuntu 11.10, Evolution 3.2, with "view > preview > vertical view" and "show
message preview" enabled. Using IMAP.
When previewing a mail (usually a "big" text-only mail, ie. 132337 bytes), the
preview pane may get locked (blocked? scroll works, but the pane doesn't redraw
properly; check attachment screenshot) and then it doesn't matter if I select a
different email in the message list because the preview crashed.
It only seems to get fixed restarting Evolution (disabling and enabling back
"show message preview" doesn't fix the problem).
Nothing in ~/.xsession-errors.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but this bug is really annoying because it
forces me to restart Evolution 3-4 times every day.

It's been reported upstream, but a developer suggested that this might be related to a gfx driver issue.
