Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

The second menu item ("Edit" in the english locale) of the mail compose windows alternate between "Édition" and "Éditer" depending on the focus. If the focus is on the "Subject:" widget, it reads "Édition", otherwise it reads "Éditer".

I think this is a problem in the localisation to french since they are both valid translation for "Edit", depending on the context (first one is the translation of the noun, second one of the verb).

This little screen cast (thanks to byzanz) should make simpler to understand the problem. See how the second menu item change when focus change.

Thanks for your bug. What version of ubuntu and french locale do you use? I don't have that issue on edgy with a fr_FR.UTF-8 locale

Well I'm also using Ubuntu Edgy with fr_FR.UTF-8 locale. Specific version of language-pack-gnome-fr-base is 1:6.10+20061019, and for evolution it is 2.8.1-0ubuntu4.

It works fine for me with the same version. Does it happen with an another user? Do you use any particular plugin? What does "grep "_Éditer" /usr/share/locale-langpack/* -r" list? What about "strace -e open evolution 2>&1 | grep evolution-2.8.mo"?

It does happen with an other user. I created a new user for the test, and the menu of the compose window present the same strange behaviour. The only plugin I think I'm using is the plugin to use bogofilter as spam filter instead of spamassassin, but I had not activated for my test with a new user (so the problem probably don't come from the plugin).

Concerning the requested commands, here is the result :
