Description Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-02-24 01:13:01 UTC 
Contacts, Month View. Create an All Day Appointment with a Summary of "test" for example. Be sure to not be in edit mode for this Appointment.

* Move the mouse over the All Day Appointment. Be sure to point somewhere at
  the middle (horizontally), where text can appear. (Just don't rest the mouse
  close to the top or bottom border.)
* Do not move the mouse after this.
* Left click on the All Day Appointment. Remember, do not move the mouse
  while clicking.
* Do not type anything.

You now will see the tooltip, flickering, appearing and disappearing rapidly.


This does *only* effect All Day Appointments, not a regular Appointment.

Seems to reproducible at least alsmost every time.

Evolution 2.5.91, GNOME 2.13.91+.

Additional notes:

* Once it flickers, you can move the mouse, but be sure to stay within the text
  area.

* Moving the mouse to the exact *center* of the appointment area will stop the
  flickering, and make the text appear just like we are /not/ in edit mode.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug; however, closing due to lack of
response of the reporter, sorry. if you still see this issue with a current
release of evolution (2.26.0 or later), please reopen. thanks in advance.
