Bug 91670 – A Weird Problem in Evolution-2.2.1.1 under Gentoo Linux PPC64

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

[Description Yang Dehua 2005-05-06 03:37:18 UTC]

I emerged and launched evolution-2.2.1.1 successfully under my Gentoo Linux PPC64. It worked well apart from one weird problem of mail composer:
In the mail body field of the composer, the cursor keys didn't work, and <return> key didn't work as expected(the alphanumeric keys had no problems). But in the receiver and subject fields, those keys worked correctly.
I know that evolution-2.2.1.1 doesn't have either ppc64 or ~ppc64 keyword, but it works anyway, at least under my system. I think it could be marked as ~ppc64 as compared to mozilla(marked as ~ppc64, but it can only be compiled and launched and doesn't work at all).
