So, you mean the "panel".  I still have no idea what "dropdown menu at
right" - I assume you mean the date/clock that when clicked expans to
show a calendar, upcoming events, etc...

I don't have any such button in the Contacts window.  I have a far-left
button in the Appointment dialog whose tooltip is "Click here to save
the current window".

Are you using a local calendar or a CalDAV server?  If you go forward a
month [in the month view] and then back does the appointment then
appear?

I doubt it.  But Ubuntu users should be aware that their "latest" is
deliberately not-current.

No clue.
