Sure. You are running 1.5...

1.5 is the current *development* version and broken thinks all over the
place are to be expected. There even was a note by Ettore some days ago,
that this code just got merged and therefore should be expected to have
usability issues.

If you want your work to get done, use 1.4.5 or maybe the latest
snapshot:

Do use Evolution 1.5 only, if you wanna help squashing bugs and can
effort living on the bleeding edge.


I am not an Evolution hacker though, so I may be wrong. HTH
