Description Patrick Wagstrom 2006-01-24 21:16:58 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I created a meeting on my calendar and wanted to change it from a single shot to
a recurrance meeting.  Selected the meeting, clicked on the recurrance, told it
to make it recur X times.  This actually creates a new appointment in my
calendar with the recurrance rather than modifying the old one.  No biggie, just
delete the old one - nope, it deletes the new recurring one.  May be related to
severe difficulties I have in modifying recurring appointments and adding in
exceptions (i.e. it doesn't work and usually kills that appointment).

Steps to reproduce:
1. create one shot appointment
2. modify to recurring appointment
3. try to delete original one shot



Actual results:
A new appointment is created and the original one shot still appears.  Deleting
the one shot deletes the recurring appointment.

Expected results:
the one shot appointment would be changed to a recurring appointment.  Step 3
above would be unnescessary because there wouldn't be an extra appointment on my
calendar.

Does this happen every time?
No, it's very erratic.

Other information:
Actually, now I notice when I restarted evolution, both sets of appointments are
gone but the modification works.  Frustrating.

Here's an animated gif from byzanz showing the problem.  Look at the 2pm appointment for Wednesday, January 25 - Meet with Kathleen.

I click on the appointment, go to the recurrance tab, and tell it to recur one time a week for the next 18 weeks.  Sounds good so far.

Return to the main week view, I've got double appointments.  Right click on the old one that is non-recurring tell it to delete, and it deletes the recurring one.

Patrick: Thanks for reporting bug. Recurrence had issues like this in 2.4.x, it will be fixed for evolution 2.6. This bug is duplicate of
