Description niburu1 2010-01-13 00:03:35 UTC
Version:           4.3.2 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If an event has taken place previously in the day or has yet to take place in the day, and hence the event is not taking place _now_, the Summary window states it as taking place now (under Upcoming Events). Instead it should say "Today" which is of the same "category" as "in n days" which is displayed if the event is not taking place today.

(The time at which an event occurs should be consistent: either a particular _day_, or _hour_, or etc. "Now" is ambiguous between referring to today or a more fine-grained period, with the latter being the more common interpretation.)

I think this is what I'm seeing with 4.3.5 in Kubuntu 9.10:
Upcoming Events
Tomorrow             now             Lates          14:00 - 22:00
                                                    02/02/2010 14:00
Tomorrow             now             Spring Term    08:50 - 15:20
                                                    02/02/2010 08:50

I'm assuming that column 4 is for the next occurrence, but what is the 'now' in the second column for?
Comment 2 niburu1 2010-02-09 12:07:54 UTC
@Mark: Actually that is another problem entirely. I'm seeing the same thing in Kubuntu 9.10 (KDE 4.3.5).
Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 19:20:37 UTC
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.
Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:04:55 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.
