Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: In the Day and Work View of Evolution Cal, individual time entry cannot be hightlighted by mouse but in the Week and Month view, the problem does not exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - evolution-data-server-0.0.97-2 - evolution-1.5.92.2-2 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1.Start Evolution Cal 2.Create an appointment 3.Click on the time slot of the appointment created (will see a blinking cursor) 4.Hightlight the entry with the mouse Actual Results: Clicking the entry is fine but following that, the widget no longer accepts input form mouse. Expected Results: Mouse able to hightlight an entry in the time slot. How often does this happen? Always Additional Information: Affects all locale including en_US
I think this mean that the text can't be highlighted in the e-text area

To rephrase: In the Week and Month View of Evolution Cal, after selecting an appointment, you can select the text using mouse-down and drag (as expected) However in the Day and Work View, after selecting the apoointment, you can't highlight the text with mouse-down and drag (bug). (verified, with Evolution 2.1.3.1)
retargetting from 1.3 to 1.5 to get rid of that busted milestones (as discussed with harish on irc)
Can someone give me an update on this one, as it's still haunting my bug list? Trying this out with evolution-2.7.92, I can't seem to get text to highlight in _any_ of the views. Not even the ones that were working before, according to comment #3. I'm not sure what this bug is really about: not being able to highlight text in appointments, or the inconsistent highlighting behavior. In the latter case, one could argue that this bug can be closed because the inconsistency has been fixed. But others may view it as a regression.
It still seems inconsistent here. In day and work week mode, I can not move the insertion point using the mouse. In week and month view, I can move the insertion point. In list view, I can move the insertion point and select text. (I'm testing using evolution 2.12 with e-d-s 1.12.0, Ubuntu 7.10, AMD64)
Bumping version to a stable release.
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 ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
