1873633 - Invites can be added to Linux calendar but not Lightning.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Calendar :: E-mail based Scheduling (iTIP/iMIP), defect)

Description

[Carl Ponder]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

Steps to reproduce:

I'm using Thunderbird 115.6.0 (64-bit) with the Lightening calendar.
when I receive messages with .ics calendar invites, there used to be a button to add them to the Lightning calendar (which I have open in another tab) but not any more.

Actual results:

If I click on
Save -> Open
it gives me the option to add the entry to the Linux calendar tool.

Expected results:

It should give me the option to add it into the coupled Lightning calender, but that's not on the menu.
Also there should be a button at the top of the message pane allowing me to add the invite to the Lightning calendar.

I was able to click on the message and use
Convert To -> Event
It filled in most of the details, including the Date, but didn't adjust the time to the local timezone.
The tinezone was correctly set for Thunderbird & Lightning.

That's generally working. Please check you didn't turn off calendar.itip.showImipBar - look for it in the config editor in settings.
If still not working, please attach a sample as .eml

It's set to "true".
I don't want to show the invite, it's company internal. Could you send me one?

Attachment: invite.eml

Here's an invitation I just got.
Thunderbird isn't giving me the button to add it to the calendar.

I get the normal [Accept all] [Tentative all] [Decline all] buttons for that.
Try Help | Troubleshoot mode.

In Troubleshoot mode, the message-pane includes a bar that says

       This message contains an invitation to an event.

But there's no button to process the event.
This and other problems started showing up after Ubuntu 22.04 upgraded my Thunderbird a few months back.
Are you testing 115.7.0 (64-bit)? (I originally reported this with 115.6).
I'm thinking that Thunderbird is trying to interface with the Linux calendar instead of the Lightning extension.
I see another problem that looks like it's trying to interface with a password-manager instead of storing it's own passwords.

And you have calendars that are enabled, in Troubleshoot mode?

Comment 8

[Carl Ponder]

None of the calendars (Home, Event, Invite etc.) are marked as being read-only in their properties.
Is there another place where they may be disabled?

Comment 9

[Carl Ponder]

One other thing -- Thunderbird doesn't show the e-mail message as having any attachments.

Comment 10

[Carl Ponder]

The one I uploaded here, does your Thunderbird show it as having a .ics file attached?

No, it's just shown as an invite (with the imip bar where one can reply).
