Steps to reproduce:

- Be in Month view, March 2018
- Double click on April 1st to create an event
- Save the new event



Actual results:

View switches to April 2018


Expected results:

It should remain on the last active view

It is very annoying in "Multiple Weeks" view: 
- Create or edit an event next week
- Save the event
- Result: the first week shown is next week, not current week
Confirming for 5.4 if editing in a tab is enabled. This is not an issue in dialog editing mode.

Actually, it is. (TB 52.6.0, Lightgning 5.4). Editing in a tab is disabled for me, and I do have the issue.

Unfortunately not for me on Win10 with TB 52.7 and Lightning 5.4.7 - have you checked that with all other addons disabled?

@MakeMyDay : you're right, the addon "Calendar Tweaks" (https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/calendar-tweaks) creates the issue. I'll put a comment on its page.

I'm not using "editing in a tab", so feel free to keep this issue open or to close it.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you for checking. Let's keep this bug for the inconsistency between tab and window mode.

@MakeMyDay I found another annoying situation when this bug appears: 

- Be in Month view, March 2018
- Double click on April 1st to create an event
- Save the new event
- Switch to Message tab
- Go back to Calendar tab

Actual results:
- View switches to April 2018

Idem with Multiview. Tested with TB 52 and TB60b6 without extension
Hello, any news on this issue?
As you already found out in comment 6, this is behaviour pre-existing to the introduction of the event-in-a-tab feature. Up to then this doesn't matter, but now it does when using the tab mode.

After having a brief look, there seem to be two options to fix this:

First is to change to change the behaviour when dblclicking and no longer also select the day in view, since the previously selected day before re-entering the calendar view is (expectedly) used to pre-select a selected day again and centered the view based on that (which results in a month switch here).

Alternatively, we would have to collect some more context information of the pre-existing view and use that when initializing the view when switching back to the view tab.

At the time being, it's not likely to get a fix for the initial release of the ERS60 series, as it's already close to be released - except somebody steps up with a patch, of cause.
IMO, your alternate solution [collect some more context information of the pre-existing view] is much better. Indeed, it's not because I select a specific day, that I want to change the view the next time I switch back to the view tab.

I really think that the view should not be changed in ANY circumstances, unless the user decides to change it.

If it's not for the initial release, when do you think it could be fixed?
There is no ETA. Since this is an all volunteer project, somebody needs to come up with a patch. And this issue correctly doesn't have a high severity.

I'm removing the dependencies, since this is also an issue when in window mode and we don't consider this for ltn62.
No longer blocks: event-in-a-tab, ltn62

Hello, any news on this issue?

In fact, it's not related at all to new event, or editing an event. It's just related to the selected day: as soon as you come back to Lightning, the view is changed to show the last selected day at the beginning of the view. This is particularly annoying in Multiweeks view.

In my understanding, it's more a feature to deactivate, than a new feature to develop. Why should the view be changed? We just have to not "initialize" the view when Lighting is opened.

I'm not sure to be clear: is it understandable?

Thank you for your support!
