Description Donn Morrison 2005-05-06 00:28:22 UTC 
Version details: 2.2.2
Distribution/Version: Debian experimental

1. Schedule an appointment
2. Wait for reminder
3. Change reminder time
4. Press keyboard shortcut ALT-S for Snooze button*
5. Reminder pops up again at default snooze time, not the time you just entered

* The reminder works correctly if you press the Snooze button with the mouse.

This is purely speculation, but perhaps this is caused because the variable
containing the snooze time is updated when the focus to the snooze text field is
lost, and pressing ALT-S does not cause a focus lost event to be sent...?
Comment 1 Donn Morrison 2005-05-06 00:33:14 UTC 
Step 3 above should read:

3. Change reminder time using keyboard input to the text field, not using the
spin control
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-06-01 14:29:06 UTC 
i can exactly confirm this running evo2.2.2 on suse9.2.
changing the snooze time value by keyboard seems to be ignored entirely (missing 
listeners?), only changes by spin control are considered.
Comment 3 Ben Hutchings 2005-08-30 10:08:41 UTC 
The same problem of changes by keyboard being ignored applies to the default
reminder time in the Calendar and Tasks pane of the Settings dialog (at least in
2.0.4).
Comment 4 viren 2005-09-08 11:48:48 UTC 
Does this happen with the recent version(s) of evolution ?
Comment 5 Johnny Jacob 2006-01-04 11:28:17 UTC 
The bug is because of http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/1998-November/msg00058.html

Patch sent to list.
