Description PJ Waskiewicz 2013-07-24 08:19:52 UTC 
The Free/Busy time when adding attendees is zoomed out in the UI, making it very difficult to find free times.  The options to zoom back in is also not obvious to select.

I'm no UI expert, but a more obvious flow for me would default to zoomed in, and add the option to zoom in/zoom out to the main Options menu for the calendar.

Forgot to include that I'm using Evolution-EWS for this account.

for evolution;

I agree, the default to zoom-in makes sense, thus I'm changing it. I do not understand the note about the Options, I see it under Options button, with a checkbox, thus it means it's a toggle option.

I meant to put it in the main Appointment UI view Options menu bar.  But this was just a suggestion (again, I'm not a UI expert by any means).  Having it default to zoomed will be a nice improvement.
