Public bug reported:
Use case: The user wants to attach documents to an event invitation.
Expected behaviour: The user clicks the Attach button, selects files in the
browser. The files are then transmitted with the invitation when it is send.
This is the same behaviour as for plain email attachments.
Current behaviour: After the user clicks the Attach button, the full path to
the document has to be entered in the mask "Enter a web page, or document
location". No browsing is available. Despite entering the path to the document,
the attachments are not transmitted.
Change request: Please enable the same attachment functionality to event
invitations that is available for plain mails. If this cannot be implemented
with reasonable effort, then at least remove or rename the Attach button in the
event invitation as it is confusing.
