Screenshot of double calendar event
Here is a screenshot demonstrating the double event entry on my calendar. These events are the same event.
I am just trying to find a work-around, and noticed that that one instance of the event remains visible when I uncheck all calendars. I.e. I am displaying no events, yet the duplicated event persists. Created attachment 83407 [details]
Screenshot - Event persistance
The event persists when no calendars are set to display.
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months. I can confirm that this is still happening on korganizer: Version 5.3.0 (QtWebEngine) Using: KDE Frameworks 5.27.0 Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1) The xcb windowing system One important thing to add here is that in my case duplication happens in an enterprise environment. When people organize events/meetings through their google calendar web UI an email is sent to participants. kMail shows now a nice GUI buttons to accept reject etc. the invite but at this stage the event is already in my calendar but in an unconfirmed state. When I click on "accept" kmail adds the event to my calendar which is now a duplicate. I can confirm that this is still an issue in KOrganizer 5.7.3. Furthermore, it seems it does not depend on the KDE user having a Google Calendar. I have two laptops: • work laptop – where we pay for Google apps, including Google Calendar and use that • private laptop – where I do not have a Google account, but my primary calendars are on my own Nextcloud (i.e. SabreDAV) CalDAV I have been told that in both cases if I click on “approve” in the invite as described herein, I cause a duplicate entry either in my own Google Calendar and/or other participants’ calendars. If memory serves me right, it is worse on work laptop, than on my private one. On my private laptop, I think all that happens is that the original creator receives a duplicate event, but I don’t (and I think other participants neither). On my work laptop, I think everyone (who already accepted the original invite?) receives a duplicate, including me. In order to fix this bug, I am prepared to be a test bunny for finding what exactly causes this bug. Unfortunately, I can confirm it for 5.9.3. Just duplicated a huge event and invited half the company over our Google enterprise calender... :-( |
