Description Oliver Joos 2010-10-21 17:31:57 UTC 
Usually I report one bug per report, but since 2.30 so many calendar prefs are ignored that I'd like to summarize it here. They might have the same symptom, otherwise feel free to open separate bug reports.

Wrong in both 2.28.3-0 and 2.30.3-1:
1 Display - Show appointment end times: always shown on screen, never shown when printing
2 Display - Compress weekends in month view: they are always compressed (bug 632241)

Correct in 2.28.3-0, but wrong in evolution 2.30.3-1:
3 General - Work Days/Day begins: has no influence on Work Week or Day view
4 Display - Time divisions: has no visual influence (always 30 minutes)
5 Display - Tasks due today/Overdue tasks: are always shown bold, in the calendar color

Note: in 2.28.3-0 pref 1 does not show/hide end times but "am/pm" and alarm icons!

I did my tests with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10, in english (LANG=C) and german. See also bug http://launchpad.net/bugs/661444
Comment 1 André Klapper 2010-10-21 21:31:50 UTC 
...and at least for Time divisions it is clearly a downstream issue, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/663787 .

Why did you upstream this?
http://launchpad.net/bugs/661444 is where this is handled.
Comment 2 Oliver Joos 2010-10-21 22:42:16 UTC 
Kurt wrote in comment #3 of http://launchpad.net/bugs/661444 that the Time division does work for him now. I was able to reproduce the problem in Ubuntu 10.10, like Sesivany wrote on http://launchpad.net/bugs/663787

I reported 661444 on Launchpad. Now 2 Ubuntu releases and 4 people are affected. Enough evidence to upstream it, I thought. Or do you mean, Evolution bugs are generally handled on Launchpad?

Evidence is if it happens to at least one person with a different distribution. As long as it doesn't it's considered a downstream issue, especially if it does not happen on other distros (Fedora 13) as explained in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/663787 .
Comment 4 Oliver Joos 2010-10-22 21:11:24 UTC 
I am sorry! You are completely right to insist on testing a second distro.

I tested Fedora (daily built Live CD of 20.10.2010) containing Evolution 2.32. Only problem 1 and 5 are reproducible. Prefs 2,3,4 act as expected.

Do you think we can continue this bug report here for issue 1 and 5, or shall I open a new one to prevent confusion?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2010-10-22 21:16:26 UTC 
New report very welcome. And big thanks for retesting! :)
Comment 6 Oliver Joos 2010-10-22 23:00:58 UTC 
Problem 1 is now reported as bug 632941
Problem 5 is now reported as bug 632942
The others are downstream issues.
