GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 246313
Only 6 appointments are displayed in same time slot.
Last modified: 2009-01-15 11:20:43 UTC
Description of Problem: When more than 6 appointments are entered in the same time slot, only 6 are shown. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Enter 7 appointments with identical time slots. Actual Results: Only 6 appointments are shown, and increasing the window size only increases the width of the 6 displayed appointments. Expected Results: All appointments should be displayed, or alternatively another view should be offered that would show all appointments such as a list. How often does this happen? Every time there are more than 6 appointments in a time slot.
still valid in evolution1.5-2.0.1.0.200410061620-0.snap.ximian.8.1, testing this in *one* calendar, not testing combinations of appointments in several calendars.
This is a long standing limitation, we should revisit this in a re-write of the calendar view widgets in 2.3.
futuring, sorry
This issue is becoming more and more of a problem for us. The worst part of the limitation is that Evo in no way alerts you that it's chopping some of the items from your view. They simply do not display. I would vote for a scroll bar to slide the calendar from left to right if it doesn't have enough room. This would kind of go hand-in-hand with the ability to have a scrollbar in the all day events area.
Created attachment 113999 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; Only two things: a) I do not know how to indicate in a multi-day view that there are hidden some events. I do not know where to place the jump pixmap or something, thus it's without it at the moment. (I would rather like new bug report for this "feature". b) I do not know why, but calendar seems very slow to me in a trunk, I had only 16 appointments in a "same" time, and the repaint was really slow. I tried even without the patch and it was slow as well, thus not caused by this patch.
Regarding a) please file a new bug report for the same and we can discuss a solution there. It can be placed near the Date string on top of the canvas, may be by displaying the label as a url or adding a .. to that. b) yes i think there is a problem with repainting if the day view has a lot of items. iirc there is a bug report already filed for that.. The patch seems to work fine. This can be committed to trunk. Nice work!!
Committed to trunk. Committed revision 37077. for a) added bug #567843
