GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 632941
calendar ignores preference "show/hide end times"
Last modified: 2011-01-02 14:43:54 UTC
I tested evolution 2.28.3-0 (Ubuntu Lucid), 2.30.3-1 (Ubuntu Maverick) and 2.32.0-2-fc14 (pre-release of fedora 14) - all these are affected. To reproduce: 1. Open evolution with Calendar view 2. Open menu Edit - Preferences - Calendar and Tasks - Display 3. Toggle checkbox "Show appointment end times in week and month view" => No change in week or month view. Closing Preferences window or restarting evolution does not help. In 2.28.3-0 this preference does not show/hide end times but "am/pm" and alarm icons! Whereas printing the calendar never shows end times - see https://launchpad.net/bugs/587425
I just tested Fedora 13. evolution 2.30.3-1.fc13 is also affected. In Week view and List view the end times are always shown. Day, Work Week and Month view never show them.
Thanks for a bug report. The initial launchpad bug is about something totally different, about printing single event, that it doesn't show start and end times at all in the print out. This particular issue was addressed in bug #618102. But I see also your issue, thus confirming.
Created attachment 173681 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; There was a little typo in the code.
Created commit 870ab18 in evo master (2.91.2+) Created commit b7f26a2 in evo gnome-2-32 (2.32.1+)
Thank you for fixing this and the printing issue (bug #618102)! I observed bug #625147 which seems to be a duplicate of #618102. Btw. how do you generally deal with duplicates here on gnome.org bugzilla? Shall a reporter add a 'See Also' reference? Or just leave a comment? Is it up to the assignee?
(In reply to comment #5) > I observed bug #625147 which seems to be a duplicate of #618102. Thanks for noticing, I marked it as a duplicate. I think the duplicate entry is not available for all users, it's available only from certain level of priviledges in bugzilla.
I confirm that this bug is fixed with 2.32.x in Fedora fc14 and Ubuntu 11.04 Natty alpha. Thanks! Now end times are shown on screen only if enabled in preferences, and when printed they are always shown, which makes perfectly sense IMO.
