1620170 - Calendar troubleshooting tips only fix calendar problems temporarily

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1596919

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Ferran Hernández]

Attachment: Calendar wrong behaviour CET_2020-03-05 101859.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:73.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/73.0

Steps to reproduce:

I'm opening Thunderbird and then click onto calendar icon.

Actual results:

Calendar tab is opened (right).
BUT:

• Calendar list is empty
• all events in the default montly view appears in white background colouring
• I can not change view from monthly to multi-week week or day.
• when adding new events, save and close buton has no effect and new event can never be saved.

All this wrong behaviour seems to be nown and there are some troubleshooting tips that solve the issues and help making calendar working again (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/calendar-updates-issues-thunderbird)

Once calendar works again it only keeps working until I close Thunderbird. As son as I close and open again thrunderbird, Calendar is back to the wrong behaviour and troubleshooting tips needs to be applied again.

Expected results:

I expect troubleshooting tips to solve upgrading issues permanently and not being in the need to apply them each time Thunderbird is reopened.

Ferran, you should be able to work around the problem by choosing another filter than "Events in current view" for the "Find events" panel above the calendar view (and restart Thunderbird). This is probably a duplicate of bug 1596919.
