Version: 3.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux When using the 'New Event' dialog while 'Time associated' is checked (default), adding an event that lasts a long time (more than a day or two, depending on number crunching capabilities of the hardware), the dialog stops responding as long as it takes to calculate the duration. It really is a problem because it tries to calculate the hours while you're still editing the 'Start' or 'End' textfields/combo boxes. Total lack of responsiveness for a few seconds shouldn't happen, especially not when editing something. The behavior I would expect would be that the calculation of the duration only starts after the user has finished editing the information, and even then it shouldn't block the interface.
Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list.
Can't reproduce this with KDE4. The duration calculation is instantaneous. And KOEditorGeneralEvent::setDuration() does some very simple calculations. Do you still have that hardware around and care to retest in KDE4? Thanks.
