Description Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-04-04 12:34:44 UTC

Version:           4.2.2-60.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I noticed that my system tray keeps growing over time and there are no icons in blank area. There is no action on left or right click. But when I moved mouse over blank space, I noticed that the space remained from evolution alarm notifications because when I mouse over, I could see event details in tooltip. I'll attach screenshot to clarify. Please let me know if I need to report this to evolution as well.

System tray spacing

Spacing is highlighted in screenshot and you can see tooltip showing evolution calendar event details when mouse is moved over blank space.

Reproducible on revision 957428 in trunk.

Comment 3 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-04-24 18:45:57 UTC

Does bug 190437 seem similar to this one?

Comment 4 Beat Wolf 2009-08-19 11:25:57 UTC

The systemtray and the notifications changed quite a bit for 4.3

I close this as needsinfo. Feel free to reopen if it can be reproduced with 4.3

Somehow reminders are stopped in evolution recently. I'll check in detail who is culprit and report back when I have calendar reminders working again and what is the status of this issue.

Comment 6 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-08-19 18:12:08 UTC

It's reproducible on 4.3.0 also. I'll attach screenshot.

zombie notification icon

Comment 8 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-09-03 13:36:12 UTC

right, so the systray icon still actually exists and evolution is expecting something non-standard to happen. vm ware has a similar issue.

Comment 9 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-09-03 13:48:20 UTC

Does that mean that it is evolution bug?

Comment 10 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-09-12 14:59:30 UTC

Now I can confirm it is evolution bug as when I kill evolution using --force-shutdown option, the systray notifications space is cleared. I filed a bug there. 
Thanks!
