1314185 - [meta] Various issues around dismissing alarms need to be fixed

Status: NEW

(Calendar :: Alarms, defect, P5)

Description

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen][📱📆]]

I am opening this as a meta bug. There are various situations in which we fail to properly dismiss alarms:

* readonly calendars (bug 356002, feature request)
* Provider for Google Calendar, especially on meetings
* CalDAV, in various situations

If you are reading this bug and would like to contribute, please don't comment on this one since this is more of a tracking bug. If you can open a bug that blocks this one, we can track all the issues in a better way without mixing the different situations.

First you need to stop playing games with the password.  Every **** time I have to logon here which seems to be about every month anymore I can't get logged in because you've invalidated or changed the password requirements.  This is what companies do to prevent errors from being reported.  It's a cheap shot at making a product appear functional but once again Thunderbird fails the test.

Then you take a report of an error that was reported 5 years ago and close it and reopen this to make it look like it's only been 1 year  WRONG.  What the hell is wrong with you people I've never seen such **** tactics.

Now given that this is a functionaly required to make the product work **** FIX IT!

Please keep in mind our Bugzilla etiquette at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html regading the language you are using. As for the age of a bug, this is not a factor for fixing them so it really doesn't matter if it is one or 5 years old. There are may important bugs to fix, and we are looking into them, but the ones linked here have not been taken care of. We will fix them when there is time.

I've been suffering from this issue for many years now as well, having to basically delete things from my calendar to make the notifications go away. My question is: how is the priority on these bugs being determined? Does Bugzilla actually allow to track the number of affected users for each bug somehow, and would that influence the priority, like, for instance, in the Ubuntu bug tracker?

Thanks!

"If you are reading this bug and would like to contribute, please don't comment on this one since this is more of a tracking bug."

But, that aside, if you read this before it's deleted, I think this is fixed in TB 52.6.0 w/ Lightning 4.0.5.2 & Google Provider 3.3, because I had the problem, and now it's gone.

Never mind, sorry I overlooked this thing, I figured out how to "add" myself to the other bugs, thanks.
