GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 514989
Calendar preview reports the wrong date for meetings
Last modified: 2010-09-30 09:08:46 UTC
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/187035 "Binary package hint: evolution I receive an ics calendar attachment in email, the inline preview claims it is for a meeting tomorrow (Wednesday), but when I add it to my calendar it is for Friday. The DTSTART and DEND fields in the ics are for Friday, so there appears to be a bug in the inline email preview. Attached is an ics file for an event scheduled for 2008-02-01, and how it appears in my email on 2008-01-29 - suggesting the event is on 2008-01-30. Running 2.21.5-0ubuntu1 under hardy (preview). http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11620150/icsexample.png Inline ical preview in email (57.5 KiB, image/png) http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11620155/test.ics ical file attachment (1.0 KiB, text/calendar) If I load up the mail today, it shows the correct event date as "Friday, February 1". It appears the problem is/was with whatever function interprets the date into "Tomorrow" etc. On Thursday, the date was given as "Friday" rather than "Tomorrow". The event today is given as "Today"."
Confirming
Created attachment 105232 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; Calculate tomorrow from current time, not from the date to convert.
Chen: Can you review this? Moving it to calendar. Though the view is mailer... Itip viewer is calendar.
Bumping version to a stable release.
Patch looks good to commit.
Patch committed to stable (gnome-2-24) branch as r36654 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution?view=revision&revision=36654 Patch committed to SVN trunk as r36655 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution?view=revision&revision=36655
I suppose this is fixed, thus closing.
