223505 - Impossible to select new date in sidebar month view

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Rainer Bielefeld]

I see the problem in
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007  with
Mozilla Calendar 2003080411-cal

That was no problem with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Mozilla Calendar 2003061213-cal 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open calendar
2. select "week view", so that you see actual week and the octual month in the 
   sidebar month view
3. Mouseclick (or double click, iv you want) to a day in the sidebar month view,
   which is not in the actual week
   expected: week view will change to the week with the "clicked" day in it
   actual: nothing happens, week view remains as it is.

The problem is also reproducible for day view, month view and all others.

I reported with UNCONFIRMED, because I think, we already have a bug for this,
but I can't find it.

confirmed by me on windows and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221404

the suppression of the lines 
        if (this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.callback) 
            this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.callback();
from the file datepicker/calendar.xml corrects the problem. I can't find any
definition of this callback function. But, this call sometime leads to a
"permission denied access to property xulelement.value".

Actually it is WFM :-\

I don't know what has changed, the problem seems not to be 100% reproducible

A few modifications were made to datepicker.xml and calendar.xml which seem to
have fixed this problem too:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=CalendarClient&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=mozilla%2Fcalendar%2Fresources%2Fcontent%2Fdatepicker&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=11%2F10%2F2003&maxdate=11%2F14%2F2003&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

It is "Works For Me" too running from CVS.

Eric: The callback function is being set to gCalendarWindow.goToDay function
with the ondatepick attribute.

Rainer: I also observed that the problem is not 100% reproducible in Mozilla
Application Suite. It seems nevertheless that it is 100% reproducible in
Thunderbird (at least here on windows).

Mostafa: my version should include the modification you mentioned, but it still
does not work. In Mozilla Suite 1.5 windows, in the cases I observe the bug, I
get in the JS Console, a message like :
Error : uncaught exception: Permission denied to get the property XULElement.value
In the cases, I do not observe the bug, the message is a warning that the
callback is not defined (which is the case when the calendar is not call from
the datepicker.xml but from calendar.xul)

This bug is annoying and not 100% reproducible.

Attachment: patch of calendar.xml

I don't know why but this patch correct the bug for me on Mozilla 1.5 and
Thunderbird 0.3 on Windows.

I still can't reproduce this bug with a fresh Thunderbird 0.3 and calendar
installed from

Very odd; I've been seeing this for a while, and on finding this bug decided to
do some more testing. I now find I cannot reproduce it at all, yet this morning
I could not get the data to select even once.

patch of calendar.xml

Finally got to see the problem.
It seems whatever the reason, this fix is a good and safe workaround for it.
Checked into CVS.

This should be fixed now.

Just a note that the fix for bug 206382 may reopen this bug.
