Hi Aparna,
I've noticed this behavior for non-message events as well. Perhaps we
should first give you an opportunity to investigate the problem a
little bit and then meet up to see if we can design an effective test
session. Assuming we conclude that a test session would help, do you
think we could aim for next Wednesday? I think we should make sure
Morgen is available and possibly Jeffrey as well.

One observation is we have been noticing these odd cases in case of
shared calendars that are being updated by multiple people and
rendered thru multiple states thru edit/update. Yesterday, I
mentioned to Philippe that I was seeing some odd behaviour with the
QA calendar as well where some of the old PTOs and meetings were
popping into the NOW section. I haven't had a chance to completely
investigate that and figure out if they are basically dups of bugs
you have filed below or different ones. I will look into that shortly.
IOW, I think the scenario that will help nail these cases is
getting more people to use and update shared calendars. I am all
for doing a test session for this but generally speaking I haven't
been able to trigger these cases on demand. I happen to encounter
them occasionally with QA calendar.
One idea is perhaps we could come up with some sharing scenarios
what require edit/update and have multiple people run thru those
scenarios in a single shared calendar during the test session. I
can work with you on coming up with those cases.
In the meantime I will investigate the "popping into NOW" cases in
the QA calendar.

Back in October, I started a thread on the design list re: weird
triage/recurrence/sharing bugs having to do with items being
marked Unread and popping into the NOW section for inexplicable
reasons.
I believe we've addressed some of the underlying causes (ie.
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10799: Need a
mechanism to ignore certain EIM fields when determining which
items move to NOW or get marked unread). But I believe there are
still bugs at large.
'Notification' via automatically popping items into the NOW
section is core to the personal information management and
collaboration workflows. What do we need to do to make sure we've
addressed this problem for 1.0 (which is in reality, less than a
month away if you take the holidays into consideration)?
Can we enlist the help of the Users list in some way? Have a
dedicated test session? Ideas?

Below is a screenshot of my Office Calendar collection after 1.5
days.
Entire recurring series keep popping into NOW but no evidence of
global edit

- See IRC QA Session item that is selected in screenshot, that's a
good example of this bug.
- I wonder if bug 10948 is somehow related to: https://
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10795 (Byline does not
match Who column)
