Description Harry 2009-05-15 18:25:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.

I have the latest updates installed from launchpad.

 After marking a to-do completed ( feature add journal entry enabled), noticed that to-do data was entered to a journal entry created earlier in the day,instead of a new entry. 

After this, trying to edit ANY previous journal entry crashes with a signal 11.

Creating a new Journal entry does not cause a crash, only on re-edit.

All other modules work as expected.

Like before, a symbol, or index tag in the *.ics file got corrupted on write. I looked at the *.ics file with an editor, and could not see any VJOURNAL tags mismatched.

Would any html tags in the journal body be causing this? I copy and paste from web pages text to the journal as supporting to correspondence I receive. The rich text toggle is off.

I believe that there were problems earlier with corruption on load when reading in the VJOURNAL sections. The fix then was to remove the entries from the *.ics file, save, then Kontact would load ok.

I also could not get the Knotes module in Kontact to see older Knotes VJOURNAL entries I restored in the Knotes directory. This must be not recognizing the tokens from Kontact in 8.04 after a clean install to 9.04 on my laptop.

Comment 2 lichten 2009-05-18 13:38:35 UTC 
I can confirm the crash on trying to edit an existing journal entry.

System: Opensuse 11.1 x86_64
Version: 4.2.3-6.1
Repository: Pre-compiled binary from Opensuse

I installed the debug-info for kdepim and attached the trace (don't know if it is any useful though...)

Hi,
I have the same issue when trying to edit an existing journal entry.
I am using Fedora 10 x86_64 with packages from the official repository.

The reporter sent me an email, he is no longer experiencing this issue on an updated KDE version.
