Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Hi!
There's an issue in Evolution 2.26.1, Ubuntu 9.04 that I cannot tell how to
reproduce because it seems to me that there's no obvious action that triggers
it. So, I'll try to show the scenario.
Steps:
1. I have a contact with a birthday date registered. His/her birthday date are
or are not repeated in other contact, this does not affect wheater the bug
happens or not.
2. I select the calendar view in that day/month I can see his anniversary, with
age. Fine.
3. I do something that I really don't know, between last step and the next one,
what that triggers the bug.
3.1. Suddenly, at the same day I'm using Evolution, or other day, that
anniversary entry does is not being displayed anymore.
3.2. So, I go to edit the contact entry and just change a letter of a word in
the note field, let's say. Then I save this entry.
3.3. Then, when I select the calendar view in that day/month again, and I can
see his anniversary, with age. (seems to me that I have only to save the
contact entry again for the birthday displays)
4. But, in another day, this birthday entry that I "fixed", is not being
dislayed any more.
This is not a priority bug, I suppose. But lends me to some embarassing
situations, as I forgot 2 birthday dates that I really could not forget.
More clues:
- every day, at the end of the day, I backup my Evolution data and, sometimes,
I restore it back.
- I've updated the evolution-data-server from proposed repository (but this bug
happens since Evolution 2.24 in Ubuntu 8.10).
