Nope, its not just you.  This has been an unfixed and critical problem
for 3 Fedora releases.  I'll bet that you have Firefox open at the same
time - that's what does it for me.  There is already a bug filed
against Evolution with a couple of hundred duplicates marked, but no
fix.  There is also a bug filed with Gnome on the problem.

Unfortunately, there has been no apparent movement on the problem for a
very long time now, even though it is impacting a huge number of
people.  I am unsure how to get the Gnome team to actually focus on
fixing bugs instead of improving functionality.  Granted that it looks
like a complex interaction bug, but with a ~20% chance of triggering
it, one would think that someone has actually figured out what is going
on by now.

Interestingly, I have never seen this problem in Ubuntu - only Fedora.

With no fixes forthcoming for what should be the most critical bug in
the list, I'm seriously considering switching to a non-Gnome distro in
order to work around this bug.  The Gnome team is so unresponsive that
I think I need to stop using their product...
