Description Naxdy 2023-04-13 08:17:07 UTC
SUMMARY
Events in the calendar plasmoid are capped at 5 per day. This is problematic for days with more than 5 events, since the calendar does NOT show the first 5 events, but rather selects 5 events to display at random.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create more than 5 events for a single day in Kalendar
2. Verify that all events are displayed in the calendar plasmoid with PIM enabled

OBSERVED RESULT
Calendar plasmoid only shows 5 events (picked at random)

EXPECTED RESULT
Calendar plasmoid shows all events

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo

It's reasonable that the calendar only shows a limited number of dots per day (tough there would be other options, like shrinking the dots or displaying a number if there are many), but the event list should show all events.

This seems to be the same bug as this one: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443850

I find this limit dangerous, it can make you miss an appointment if you are not aware of it ;-)

A patch increasing the limit is here https://github.com/voncloft/Voncloft-OS/blob/master/REPOS/plasma/plasma-workspace/event.patch - and also attached.

What are the reasons for the limit? Is it because this is also the limit of dots to be drawn? How hard is it to have different limits for the dots and entries?

Please feel free to submit that patch formally! Patches in bug reports tend to get lost.
