GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 325416
tooltip of *earlier* appointment displayed in day view
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:57:44 UTC
it sometimes (but often enough) happens that a calendar day view tooltip is displayed that refers to the appointment *before* the expected one on that day, but i have not managed to find out the exact way to reproduce perfectly. need to investigate. suse9.3, gnome2.10, evo2.5.3 rpm snapshot dated 2005-12-19. screenshot attached.
Created attachment 56608 [details] screenshot screenshot: mouse is over appointment "Silvester Erik Hütte". disregard that "(null)" tolltip, that's bug 325414. ;-)
srag: assigning this to you, because you wrote that code. i hope that's ok. :-)
andre, hmm interesting. I have never seen this. Would like to have more info u are able to find.
srag: here we go again: :-) go to day view with 30minutes time divisions. set up an appointment at 13:00 named "1" by typing directly into the day view. go to 14:00 and set up a second appointment "2" by typing directly into the day view. go to 12:00 to set up a third appointment "3" by typing directly into the day view. now this should show up as 12:00 appt_3 13:00 appt_1 14:00 appt_2 now move the mouse over appointment 1. it will display popup for appointment 3. move the mouse over appointment 2. it will display popup for appointment 1. this seems to be 100% reproducible here.
andre you are great. I too see it now :)
Fixed to head.
srag, thanks :-) for the records: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/calendar/gui/e-day-view.c?r1=1.289&r2=1.290
Reverted the patch as it causes a crash while viewing the tooltip for all day events.
There is a quite similar Ubuntu bug: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19374 While reading calendar items, sometimes when I scroll my list, Evolution leaves "ghost" of the item. This ghost won' disappear on workspace. It covers everything. You can displace him with a click within the ghost area. http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=4899 The "ghost" itself. ... > Thanks for your bug. What version of evolution/ubuntu do you use? What part of the screenshoot is the ghost? When you say it covers everything, you mean that it covers other apps you open too?" I've noticed that too with current tarballs, the tooltip stay on screen on other workspaces too
yeah. confirming.

Thanks a lot guys, at last i was able to get into the code and see the root cause. It is fixed in head. (Will be in 2.5.5).
just built from head, cannot reproduce anymore. thanks. :-)
