1705041 - Week number display in Month/Multiweek views is confusing - should have separate week column

Status: NEW

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, enhancement)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0

Steps to reproduce:

In Lightning's Month and Multiweek views, week numbers are displayed on the left side of the header of the leftmost day. Unfortunately, the right side of those day headers also contains a number (day of the month). I.e., it looks something like this:

14 5| 6| 7| 8| ...

Actual results:

Both numbers are unprefixed which makes it very easy to confuse them for another, the only difference between them is that the week number is displayed in a lighter gray.

Expected results:

Please make it harder to confuse the numbers. Elsewhere in the UI, week numbers are already prefixed with "CW", so I think that would make most sense here too.
To pick up my example from above, a display like this would help me a lot:

CW14 5| 6| 7| 8| ...

Yes, or just Week

Of course, it's quite a hack to have the week number in that place to begin with. That's not how calendars usually (or ever?) display them. It should be closer to attachment 8485517 [details].

May end up as a dupe of bug 1715600.

Let's morph this to be about having a separate week column instead, like almost all other calendars do.

I can add the column after bug 1738689

In the case you guys going to fix this.... can you make it possible, that when in the calendar the week numbers are visible in the month overview, they also being printed in-front of the weeks ?
thank you.

The week numbers are prefixed and colored due to bug 1816485 so I don't think this needs any further changes.

This bug is about having it as a column, like all paper calendars and other online calendars reasonably have. E.g. google calendar, microsoft365.
To quote my wife: "Where are the week numbers, I can't use this calendar!" ;)
