Yep.  I filed a bug about this last month:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478404

The good news is it's already been fixed.  The bad news is the fix
didn't make it into 2.12.0 :-/

It is in 2.12.1, but I don't know if Ubuntu will be upgrading for 7.10
(if past history is an indication they won't upgrade to newer versions
of Gnome).

However, you can build Evo from source in a fairly straightforward way
using a makefile I created.  I have an updated version of that makefile
that works with Gutsy, which I'll post when I get home tonight.

If you want to go that way.
