GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 231802
Moving one instance of recurring appointment keeps other recurrences on previously chosen day
Last modified: 2021-05-19 12:13:58 UTC
If you cut an appointment with a weekly recurrence, and then paste it into another day, the day-of-week on which it recurs is still the old day of week. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create an appointment on Wednesday, set weekly recurrence. 2. Cut appointment 3. Paste on Thursday Actual Results: Appointment now occurs once on Thursday, and after that every Wednesday. The recurrence rule is set to "recur every 1 week on Wednesday." If you unselect "W" in the recurrence rule, the appointment occurs every Thursday, but you can't select the Th box in the recurrence rule widget. Expected Results: Appointment should recur every 1 week on Thursday, "Th" should be selected in the recurrence rule. Additional Information: The first occurrence (on Thurs) doesn't show up on the Palm, but all following Weds occurrences show up. If you unselect "W" in the recurrence rule, Evo will show the appointment every Thursday, but it won't sync at all to the Palm.
Retargeting 1.5.3->1.5.4 bug reports. Sorry for the spam.
Ok, I think the only way to handle this is to remove the event from the palm and stop syncing it. The palm just can't handle this recurrence type afaict.
Not a regression and a lack of time unfortunately.
reassigning bugs that are still assigned to jpr. hmm, any news on this?
I don't consider this a bug, as you can define on which day to repeat the appointment and in the recurrence dialog. Maybe a dialog whether to apply to this or all instances when cut&paste could be nice though. Still valid in 3.2.3.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
