Description K. A. Sayeed 2011-09-27 14:55:01 UTC
Version:           4.4.10 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

1. The Reminder dialog box remains fixed to a location on the screen.

2. When an attempt is made to drag it to a different location using the mouse it moves but on releasing the mouse button, it goes back to its original location. This box does not move to the background when the mouse is clicked on another application window.

3. Furthermore, the dialog box which is empty and does not contain any reminders about any events (Calendar or To-Do).

4. Sometimes, it lists the reminders a long time after the Kontact application has been started.

5. When an attempt is made to shut the Remined Box another box is displayed with the heading "Metacity". this box reports the following:

5.1. "Reminders – KOrganizer Reminder Daemon is not responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the application to quit entirely"

6. On clicking the mouse on the "Force Quit" button, the Reminder Box disappears.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that there are some reminders.

2. Shut down system and restart.

3. Start the Kontact application

4. If there are some reminders, the Reminder box (KOrganizer Reminder Daemon) will be displayed at the top left hand area of the screen (note that the Reminder box is usually blank without any reminders being displayed)

5. Now try to move it to a different location by dragging it with the mouse.

6. It jumps back to to where it originally was.

7. NOTE:

7.1. This problem does not happen when the Kontact application is first installed on the computer system. It seems to develop after some use

Actual Results:  
1. The above steps were followed and the events described in the details box happen as described.

Expected Results:  
1. The Reminder box should be movable to any point on the screed.

2. It should display all the reminders that are pending.

really old version.

does this still happen with KDE 4.11 ?
Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:51:04 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 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 22:19:52 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.
