GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 740197
Month view doesn't always indicate excess appointments

This has been a long-standing bug. I have just updated to 3.12.7 from openSUSE 13.2 and it's still present, possibly worse. Using the calendar, in monthly view, I selected a date about a year into the past. I saw the date of interest slowly fill up with appointments as they were loaded. (I have a very full calendar spanning many years.) Once the view filled up all four slots available for viewing, some appointments disappeared. This is normal. What is abnormal is that the yellow icon indicating extra appointments didn't appear. If I hadn't known about the extra appointments, I'd think there were only four. I am going back over my calendar for legal reasons, in preparation for giving evidence in court, so it's really bad to not see the extra appointments! Evolution's calendar absolutely must be made more reliable than it has been over the last few years. Fortunately, this time, I clicked on the day view, and they were all there.
Thanks for a bug report. I never noticed this myself. The "three-dot button" is shown properly after I switch to the Calendar view, but when I change a window height it sometimes disappears. it's still there, I can click on it, but it's not visible for some reason.
It was tricky, the "three-dot button" pixbuf was drawn usually with no offset set, but sometimes with an offset and clip region, which made the drawing fail, due to drawing out of that clip region.
