GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 316539
buggy string redraw of recurrence appointment summary
Last modified: 2005-12-21 22:49:11 UTC
Version details: evolution-2.4.0.0.200509090712-0.snap.novell.11.1 Distribution/Version: suse9.3 in day view, set up an appointment with recurrence. you get that little icon (two arrors building a circle) in front of the summary text. drag down the button for one timeslot (30 minutes) to make the appointment 30 minutes longer. the icon disappears, and the summary text goes to the left because of the alignment. when freeing the left mouse button (the "this instance or all instances" dialog appears), the icon is shown again, but the text remains at the left, so you cannot read the beginning of the appintment summary (see attached screenshot). afer switching to another day and going back, this is fixed. also happens in work week view (of course, i know it's the same), cannot happen in work/month week (no drag and drop).
Created attachment 52333 [details] screenshot. screenshot to easily understand(TM). ;-)
In addtion to the above bug, after selectin "this instance only" the appointment seems to disappear in the Day view for me, but still shows up in the list view. Marking as NEW.
It does not always disappear. Editing an instance of personal recurring event results in moving the event by some time (to be precise ... the differnce between UTC and local timezone) and if this crosses next day . it will not be shown in the the day view.. Still it is a bug to move it around like that ;-)
brent and chakravarthi: i have posted the recurrence bug you refer to as bug 271679. please post additional comments there, since i have not covered the list view but only the day view in that report. thanks in advance.
fixed in later versions (at least in 2.5.3).
