1476725 - Tasks are not displayed anymore in calendar views even if enabled in the view menu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

Description

[[:MakeMyDay]]

Tasks are not displayed anymore in the calendar views if you have enabled the respective menu item at View > Calendar > Current View > Tasks in View

There is no related messages in the error console and the same tasks are displayed properly in task view as well as the today pane.

This still works in TB 60 / Lightning 6.2 b10, so it looks like a regression of the Lightning wx conversion.

This is a race condition when loading the overlays. The view relies on the toolbar setting being available already to apply the filter for getting the items properly. Since that is not yet present when loading the view, it fails to display the tasks in view. This will be resolved by bug 1477958, so marking this as duplicate.

Reopening since there's currently no active work on bug 1477958, so a separate resolution of the issue might be appropriate.

Still seeing this?

Comment 4

[[:MakeMyDay]]

Yes, still present. If you can create a task with a start date/time, it should show up in the calendar view.

Comment 5

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

Huh. Well, it works every time for me.

Using Thunderbird 67.0a1 (BuildID 20190317094532) with Lightning 6.9.

I do see tasks in month and multiweek view.
I do not see tasks in week view and day view.
Error Console shows:

Okay, I broke this in February trying to fix a major bustage, but the bug report is from last July. Go figure.
