Description Dominic Battre 2003-03-28 16:17:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

1) Monthview (I)

I think it is very confusing that the month view is not in sync with the datepicker at the top left of the window.

As you have removed the buttons "<" "<<" ">>" and ">" at the right border of the window to look for a certain month, I navigate to a certain month by the datepicker at the top left.

If I pick the 27th of March the datepicker looks like that:

March 2003
24 25 26 27 28  1  2
 3  4  5  6  7  8  9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26[27]28 29 30
31  1  2  3  4  5  6

while the monthview displays
24 25 26[27]28 29 30
31  1  2  3  4  5  6
 7  8  9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30  1  2  3  4

Note that it virtually displays the month April(!) not March, which I would expect, as datepicker says "March 2003".

Even worse: If you use only "<<", "<", ">" and ">>" of the datepicker (don't klick on a day), you don't necessary see the complete month that you have selected.


2) Monthview (II)

Further I think it is really difficult to realise which day is actually displayed at the monthview. That means: You see the number "21" but it is not easy to figure out the month. Is it 21st of March (as the datepicker says March)?

This really is a bug, not a wishlist item.

The manual STILL says that month-view navigation buttons exist, when they
don't, and this bug makes it very difficult indeed to navigate monthview
in a consistent manner.

I was about to report this bug, and am dismayed to find it was reported over
a year ago.

:-(

Hi Andy,
The prolem with "missing" navigation buttons in the month view (in particular if you have the todo list set to be hidden in month view) is a separate issue. Could you please file a separate bug report for that.

Thanks,
Reinhold

Replaced dominic.battre@web.de with andrew-kde@oxhut.co.uk due to bounces by reporter

Comment 5 Reinhold Kainhofer 2004-10-03 14:59:52 UTC

Thinking of it, how important is it really in the month view to display any six-week period? Can't we just display the whole month (like in the date picker)? I think that would be much less confusing, and wouldn't really be such a restriction. After all it's the *MONTH* view, not the any-six-weeks view ;-)
