Instant crash on enabling spellcheck in composer

Description:

When creating new email and enabling spellcheck (e.g. by pressing F7) evolution crashes directly.

Note:

  • The set of selected languages in composer preferences makes no difference - it crashes for any combination I select.
  • I start evolution in X11 session

    • evolution 3.52.1-1

  • link to upstream bug report, if any: similar issues were reported some years ago, but not sure about exact match

Steps to reproduce:

  1. start evoluion
  2. Edit/Preferences (or Ctrl+Shift+S)/Composer Preferences select one or more spell checking languages
  3. start new email message (Ctrl+N)
  4. Edit/Check Spelling (or F7)
  5. observe the crash
