Title:
"Clear All" buton should not remove calendar events from the panel
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
"Clear All" works in an unexpected and non unintuitive way when it
comes to calendar entries. Clicking it not only removes all
notification entries from the panel but also all of the calendar
entries which in my opinion is not what most users would expect as
normally people wouldn't want their schedule for the day to just
disappear if they just want to mark notifications as read.
I get it that technically the entries are just persistent
notifications sent by the calendar application but I don't think this
is the expected behavior from the users. Moreover, this is exactly
what happens when if a user switches to any past or future dates in
the calendar/notification panel. The calendar entries for that date
are shown but it is not possible to remove them either individually or
by clicking clear all (disabled). If it makes sense to not remove them
for other days, why would we want to do it for the current day when
the schedule is the most needed. To me it seems like the design is
mixing up 2 different concepts here. A Notification panel and Today's
schedule panel.
IMHO, a better design would have been to visually separate list of
unread notifications and list of calendar events for the day like most
operating systems do (macOS, Windows, Android, iOS). At the very least
the clear all button should not touch the calendar entries.
If neither of these are acceptable or doable, perhaps a way to bring
back calendar notification after they are cleared would work.
