Description André Klapper 2006-03-30 00:11:00 UTC

tried to move a recurring appointment in the day view of one of my local calendars by using drag and drop.
when i dropped, suddenly the summary of the appointment was displayed one time division above the appointment itself (now the appointment itself did not have a summary) and evolution was frozen.

evo CVS head, compiled about a week ago, though it still states "2.5.92".

Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-03-30 00:12:16 UTC

suse9.3/gnome2.10

Comment 2 André Klapper 2006-03-30 00:14:31 UTC

seems like drag&drop isn't possible at all here. :-(

regression.

Comment 3 André Klapper 2006-04-19 22:13:50 UTC

the same just happened again to me:

in week view, i tried to reproduce a never-disappearing calendar tooltip that i had a few minutes ago (i didn't succeed in that, but instead got this crash here).
how to reproduce: hmm, dunno exactly, i had the mouse over an appointment and moved around a bit by using the arrow down / arrow up and page down / page up buttons, and it seems that either my laptop or (more likely) evolution was not fast enough to follow my commands... ;-)

evo 2.6+ from cvs head on suse9.3, jhbuilded, checked out from cvs a week ago. cannot reproduce it currently.

only attaching the thread where this happened:

Comment 4 André Klapper 2006-04-24 15:23:55 UTC

adding srini to cc as this seems to be a e_calendar_view_get_tooltips bug...

(just reproduced this again; btw i have no idea why bug-buddy states that it's "/opt/gnome/libexec/evolution-2.6". this file does not exist, as "ps ax" clearly states here)

Comment 5 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-04-25 03:42:46 UTC

Nice andre :). Is it all with recurring events? IIRC chen was saying that recurring events have some issues wrt dnd.

Comment 6 André Klapper 2006-04-25 16:54:31 UTC

no, at least the second freeze happened with a normal and non-recurring event.

Comment 7 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-04-26 03:43:06 UTC

Seems interesting. I dont see it at all. Could be pretty random.

Comment 8 André Klapper 2006-07-17 13:05:43 UTC

i can still reproduce this with evolution 2.7.4 cvs head.

Comment 10 Sebastien Bacher 2006-09-20 10:03:19 UTC

Still happening with GNOME 2.16.0 when modifing an event to the calendar by dnd, mentioned on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/45033 too

Comment 11 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-09-20 15:07:17 UTC

Ill fix this for 2.8.1

Comment 12 Bruce Cowan 2006-09-20 22:03:22 UTC

Comment 13 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-09-29 07:30:47 UTC

Harish is doing the build in another 4 hours. I dont think I have a fix for it now. May be Ill fix it sometime over the week end/next week. Just commited a similiar fix for month view sterday. Need to ananlyze in the same way for day/work-week view too.

Proposed patch

Comment 15 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-09-29 19:06:32 UTC

This patch, is slightly on top of bug 333224 . This disables the tooltip when dragging. So the source of crash is fixed. Because the tooltip comes for an old instance of the dragged event which is destroyed. Now the tip wont even occur.

Comment 16 Harish Krishnaswamy 2006-09-30 13:21:44 UTC

This patch has also been submitted on bug 333224 and reviewed there.
See comment #17 on bug 333224.

Comment 17 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-09-30 18:22:02 UTC

Harish Ive commened in bug 333224.

Comment 18 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-10-16 13:11:40 UTC

Fixed to stable and head.

Comment 19 André Klapper 2006-10-16 13:23:59 UTC

closing as per last comment, thanks for the heads up.
