Please describe the problem: see last block - I had already filled the report for "bug buddy" Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: From: <> To: submit@bugs.gnome.org X-Mailer: bug-buddy 2.14.0 Subject: Switcher appearance "locks" : can not force 1 column for "selection switches" - Distribution: Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper) Package: Evolution Severity: Normal Version: GNOME2.14.3 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu Synopsis: Switcher appearance "locks" : can not force 1 column for "selection switches" - Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Miscellaneous Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Description of Problem: For some reason, the vertical bar can not be pushed to the left "any time" as it used to do. The switcher "locks" on 3 rows: ( 1- Mail ;2- Contacts/Calendar; 3- Memo/Tasks) Steps to reproduce the problem: 1-Once I can get 1 column, 5 rows (with Mail), 2- switching to another topic modifies the switcher appearance. 3- View menu can NOT reset to original. 4 -Eventually, close Evol. & restart and reset in MAIL ... then back to 2 , when leaving MAIL.3. Actual Results: Expected Results: How often does this happen? Every time - NOW. NO IDEA why - but EVOLUTION quit unexpectedly BEFORE IT started. Any residual "flag" ?? Additional Information:
Found ONE additional clue - problem seem to be linked to the fact that my CALENDAR is pointing to a week that is NOT the current week. I use current view = "week view". My calendar ponted to week 35 intead of 31 (this week) and this IS the reason that the switcher view changes WITHOUT ACTION FROM ME (re-tested it). Is this part of the design or some side-effect. Anyhow, I have my fix-bypass. Thanks for the good work on EVOLUTION - I miss the old "weather" feature though; I had it on Fedora - not on Ubu - may be their choice.
hmm, to be honest i don't really understand what this bug is about. can you provide a step-by-step explanation, starting at where we are? :-) or screenshots (please don't show any confidential data)?
Created attachment 93097 [details] Screenshot of EVOLUTION switcher with CURRENT week set.
Created attachment 93098 [details] Screenshot of EVOLUTION after just clicking on antoher week There is NO ACTION between the two screenshots - only clicking another week. The switcher appearance remains locked to two columns until I click current week. This scenario does NOT happen with all weeks other than current !
yeah, it's because the string is much longer in the grey box in the upper left corner.
...or maybe also because of the minimum width of the mini calendar. This also affects translations that use longer strings, see for example: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=103944 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=123677

This is fixed in 3.8 as the elements of the quick search bar wrap.
