Please describe the problem: if you copy a entry in the calendar and paste it the new entry has all the information but has lost the calender in which it was Steps to reproduce: 1. create a entry in a non-default calendar 2. fill it 3. copy & paste somewhere Actual results: the new entry isn't in the non-default calendar Expected results: the new entry still being in the same calendar Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
which provider ? can you please try in current stable 2.24.0, thanks.
Hi, This is with local calendars. I reproduced it with evo 2.24 :( Steps I do: - create a new calendar (so I have to "Personal" and this one) - create a new event (it doesn't matter with which calendar) - copy the event - select the other calendar (in the top-left list of calendars) - paste the event somewhere You will see that the event has been assigned to that calendar (not the same as the event we have just copied). That's enough information? Thanks for your hard work ;)
Thanks for a bug report. I thought I'll fix this, and my initial response to Akhil's reminder about this bug was that it's valid and should be fixed, but the more I think about it, the more I believe it's a WontFix-er. The reason is that if you paste events, then they may come into the calendar which is selected in the left calendar tree, because otherwise you might not be able to copy selected events into another calendar. Also imagine when you've selected events from multiple calendars, it would be quite unexpected to see them pasted each in a different calendar, practically doubled. The worse with Cut & Paste, which would result in no-op with the suggested behaviour.
