GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 256196
Calendar no-show.
Last modified: 2004-03-30 18:18:54 UTC
Package: Evolution Priority: Critical Version: 1.4.6 Synopsis: Calendar no-show. Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Calendar Description: Description of Problem: I can't see the calendar. I just upgraded to this version, and I started evolution for the first time. When I try to bring up the calendar, all I get is a blank window labeled "Summary". I know the calendar is in there somewhere because it knows about today's appointments. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Upgrade from 1.2.X. 2. Start calendar. 3. Actual Results: No calendar visible. Expected Results: Calendar visible. How often does this happen? Every time I start evolution since I upgraded it. Additional Information: Unknown reporter: gershwin@mit.edu, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Clarification: it seems to show the Task screen rather than the Calendar screen, and I have no tasks. I can't seem to coax it into showing any version of the Calendar screen (day, work week, week, month).
OK. I figured it out. It turns out that when you go into Calender, you also go into Tasks, but (at least in my case) the Task window completely covers the Calendar window. After blundering around for a while, I accidentally discovered that I could resize the task window and see the Calendar. (Of course, what I saw at first was a three-year calendar, and I had to fumble around some more to get something useful.) Perhaps there is something strange about my setup. If not, then you really should either document this a little better or change the default so you see both the Task window and the Calendar window. Otherwise, this is a great product.
