Several times in the past I have got fed up with evolution because sometimes, for no apparent reason, the cursor would jump to a different part of the text I was typing and randomly delete some portions of text. Recently, that's not been happening, which was great as it really is otherwise my preferred email client. This evening it started doing it again. Then it dawned on me - I decided to have a go at playing with Project Looking Glass - Sun's new 3D desktop - and, as part of the procedure, I installed the nvidia driver, which I have not been using recently. It occurred to me that previously, this happened when I had been using the nvidia driver also, so could that somehow be the cause? Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix? Seems a strange one to me!

My experience is that the nvidia driver works but you can get some strange behavior here and there, in some programs. Nothing serious, really, but annoying. The most annoying thing though is that I keep installing the nvidia driver, but I don't really need hardware 3D :-) /Lars David Robertson wrote:

Hi Lars Thanks for your response, but I've now had four copies of your message sent to me directly, rather than to the list. Something amiss, I think!

If you look at those copies, do they have "Received: from helios.avtotehna.si" ? It seems someone is subscribed to this list with a poorly configured mail server. It sees incoming mail and remails them without thinking. You get multiple copies because the original was cc. directly to you, but I'm sure if sle-owner looks in the logs, he'll see this helios machine trying to mail every single mail on the list back to suse-linux-e@suse.com I'm pretty sure this is why people have been seeing duplicates on the list lately

No, they don't seem to come from there. David -- Registered Linux User No 207521 The Linux Counter: http://counter.li.org/ "The above is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of the little voices in my head."

What are the "Received:" headers then?

Here's the lot for you:

And they all look like this, identically? Then it's a local problem with your ISP or your local setup. If the Received: from lists.suse.com times change between mails then it's a problem with suse.com (although I doubt that) and you should send the info to mladmin@suse.com

Yes - they're all the same. It's probably down to my local setup. I've been fiddling with various mail configurations lately so I'm likely to have fscked something up, though it's only been happening with this particular message. I'll take a look. All part of the learning curve...........

Yep. I'm curious why you didn't see the remailed mail from helios though. I got three this morning from a mail sent by Ted Hilts yesterday. Hm, perhaps it just takes a long time. If you get some from there later, let me know
