My experiences with Evolution 3.16 tell me that might be correct.

That made me shout at my laptop quite a few times already. Oddly enough,
Evolution behaved like it didn't notice that and just kept on doing
that. What an arrogant application...

Also note the annoying line breaks in my reply (written with Evolution
3.16.5). That nonsense also didn't happen in 3.12.

(I've only been using Evolution for a decade now. But still the thought
that I really should be looking into a new client scares me quite a
bit.)
