Description HPetrus 2019-10-01 13:22:38 UTC
SUMMARY
Adding new events always takes the whole day, no matter what time changes you make on creation, or edit afterwards.  The only way to frame an event in the time you want is to drag the start and end times in the calendar view and not the dialogue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add an event to bring up dialogue
2. Change start and end times
3. hit Apply and/or OK; the new event goes from 12:00am to 12:00am

OBSERVED RESULT
The new event goes from 12:00am to 12:00am

EXPECTED RESULT
Should display and respect the start and end times, as determined in the dialogue

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.3.1-arch1-1-ARCH/Plasma 5.16.5
(available in About System)

Additional info:

Sometimes, creating events and correcting the times causes crashes, as well.

no idea how this can happen.

this would be a huge problem and many people would be reporting it.
I suppose there could be something with Qt5.13 that changed and broke things badly.

for now I am unable to reproduce this.

maybe you have a timezone Korganizer doesn't like?
what is your system timezone?

This may be related to bug 410167 "Cannot change or enter time for calendar entry".

Do you still have this problem, and if so, do you use a locale that is not en_US?  If so, please try the work-around mentioned in that bug: In konsole, run "LANG=en_US.UTF-8; korganizer" and see if you can set the start and end times.

If you can set the times, that will confirm the root cause of the bug, although it won't really solve your problem.

Fix KTimeComboBox for locales with unusual characters in formats

KTimeComboBox creates an edit mask by replacing the AM/PM indicator in
a formatted time with 'a' ("optional alphabetic") mask characters.
This does not work for locales that use punctuation in the indicator, such
as the current en_CA format "9:00 A.M.".  This patch uses mask character
'x' ("optional non-blank").

The current fr_CA time format contains an embedded 'h':  "9 h 00".  'h' is
an edit mask character ("optional hexadecimal digit"), so the generated
mask rejects properly-formatted times.  This patch escapes all characters
that are not supposed to be mask characters.
