GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 546484
Calendar widget locks the sidebar size
Last modified: 2012-02-15 13:48:06 UTC
If you switch to the calendar view, it will lock up the sidebar to a fixed size, which is evil. I was able (and happy) that the calendar now could be shrinked to the maximum to allow you to have much more space for the actual calendar to be displayed. 2.23.4 was fine, 2.23.6 has the bug, ubuntu skipped 2.23.5. See attached screenshot.

I can't shrink it past that point, in 2.23.4 I was able to make it really stretch, so the switcher icons were stacked one row each, not two per row like in the screenshot.
Can confirm in 2.24.1, but with some notes: - Side Bar width is locaked also in other views (Mail, Contacts, Tasks en Memos); - The Side Bar is "locked" between the maximum and minimu size of the calendar widget (which leaves one or two centimeters of room for resizing).
Mini-calendar requests a minimum width in order for its labels to not overlap. I suppose if the sidebar shrinks beyond that the mini-calendar ought to just disappear.
