GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 594444
Appointments/Meetings of 0 minutes length do not show in the calendar.
Last modified: 2009-11-30 11:00:15 UTC
Steps to reproduce: * Switch to the calendar. * Switch to month view (seems to happen in other views too, but I mostly tend to use this view) * Right-click on a day. * Select "new meeting" or "new appointment". * Enter a summary. * Set the end to time to be "for" a duration of 0 hours and 0 minutes. * Click save. * Observe the appointment/meeting does not appear in the calendar - basically, it disappears from the Calendar GUI. * However, if you grep the ~/.evolution/calendar folder for the summary/name of the meeting/appointment, the entry has been recorded in the data files - it's just not displaying. What should happen: * An item should appear in the calendar, even if it has zero minutes duration. Personally I use a zero length entry for events and deadlines that I need to be aware of, but do not need to physically attend. Other info: * Evo version is 2.26.1. * Calendar is local. * As far as I can recall, this used to work in previous versions (Evo 2.22 and 2.24) * The added calendar entry displays fine if duration is > 0 minutes.
I just tried this and it is working fine with actual master (just before 2.29.3). It works fine with 2.28.1 too. I guess it's something else. Please reopen if you'll encounter this in the 2.28.1+. Thanks.
Sorry, now I can't reproduce it in 2.26.1 either. Very weird, I just tried it several times and it worked fine, but I'm certain it didn't work before when I reported it. Most strange, I can't explain it: maybe there were some distro updates that fixed this, or it was a temporary problem on my system, or something else? Anyway, my sincere apologies for this, and definitely agree with closing as "NOTABUG".
No problem at all, when/if you'll see it again, just reopen this bug and we can investigate what is causing the issue.
