Description rusconi 2009-09-15 10:06:50 UTC
Version:           4.3.0 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Greetings,

this behaviours does not seem normal:

1. Create a new event (11 september) by rightclick in the top area of
the KOrganizer daily view pane;

          Enter a description;

          Enter an advanced text reminder : 2 days before the start,
          click Apply, and OK

          Confirm all changes in main dialog window : Apply (the title
          of the Event is now displayed at the top of the panel, and
          click OK

2. All is fine (apparently)

3. I want to clone that event to the 17th of september so I drag the
newly created event from to top of the daily display panel onto the
calendar's 18 item (calendar in single-month view). Select "Copy" from
context menu;

4. Go to the 17th of September and the event is there. But I would
like to edit the description of the reminder :

         Double-click on the event (opens the Edit Event dialog window)

         Click Advanced... button

         Modify the Reminder text to something new

         Click Apply and OK (now back to the Edit Event window)

         Click Apply ; Click OK and the event disappears from the
         place it was visible.


Because I find successfully making events (however these a created) is
one central task one performs with a calendar, I have set the Severity
to important, however, I still can create an new event ex nihilo,
without resorting to drag and drop.

Thank you for listening,

Filippo Rusconi

Comment 1 rusconi 2009-09-15 10:10:10 UTC
OK, I realize that the problem pointed to in this bug report is actually some refreshing problem as when I restart KOrganizer, all the copy trials I did were manifesting themselves stacked in the display area. 

I also realized that sometimes this odd behaviours also happens for newly created (not copied) events that range multiple consecutive days. Quitting and restarting KOrganizer would show these newly created events properly.

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 korganizer (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:52:12 UTC
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
