Description David Richards 2005-01-20 18:44:48 UTC 
If you highlight a read only calendar source (webcal://) and then double
click on the current date or hit New->Meeting New->Appointment it detects
that the source is read only, but opens a detail screen that you can't do
anything with.

Users are going to be confused with that, and think that Evolution is
broken.  All widgets are deactivated and it looks 'broken'.

If you attempt to add on a read only calendar, it should say something like
"Your selected Calendar is read-only and you cannot add appointments".

punting target to 2.5; shortening the summary a bit to be able to view it in the
search lists. :-)
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-09-28 14:51:50 UTC 
copying comment by carsten guenther from dup bug 311168 adding additional places
in UI that also have to be checked:


"When creating a new appointment (or meeting) I can choose the Calendar from the
"Calendar" menu in the edit dialog. This menu contains all the calendars, also
the read-only ones. Picking a read-only calendar, like "Birthdays &
Anniversaries" disables all the fields in the dialog. This is very confusing UI.
The "Calendar" menu should not list read-only calendars in the first place."
