Description Jeff Waugh 2001-12-08 18:27:40 UTC 
Selecting a date by clicking in the mini-calendar currently changes the
main calendar view to day view.

In Outlook, the main view is kept consistent, and the days that would be
visible in the main view are highlighted in the mini-calendar as you select
them.

Example:

1) Main area shows day view, click in mini-calendar, single day highlighted
and shown.

2) Main area shows work week view, click in mini-calendar, work week days
highlighted around selected day, main view shows the work week containing
selected date.

And so on for month and week views.

adding dependency.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2004-11-30 10:34:22 UTC 
again, adding dependencies....

Consider looking at it from a different POV.

While Day/Week/Month offer named ranges - the mini calendar offers you the choice of an arbitrary range of consecutive dates. Choose 3, 17 or 37 and watch the main view give you the picture at a single glance.

While the current approach accommodates your expectation (just select the work week in the mini-calendar) - modifying it the way you want takes away the above value.

It is hence, IMO, slightly better the way it is now.

BTW, it has been a long wait for a comment on this bug [filed long before I had even heard of Evolution ;-)] but I looked at it just a minute ago. thanks for all the patience if you had not forgotten this bug by now.
