267198 - changing start time of an event doesn't reset the alarm

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

At around 11:55 I added an event; I meant to say "12:45, notify me 15 minutes
before" but instead I entered "12:00".

A minute later, the alarm window popped up.  I realized my mistake, went over to
the calendar window, and fixed the start/end times of the event.

I expected the alarm to pop down as soon as I made this edit; it didn't.

I told it to "snooze 1 minute" hoping that would un-confuse it; it came back in
a minute (at around 11:59) telling me about my 12:45 event.

I'm afraid that if I click the Acknowledge button, it's not going to notify me
at 12:30 like it was supposed to, so I guess I'll just delete the event and
re-add it.

Expected results:

   If an alarm window is up, and the start time or alarm time of the event
   are edited such that, had it been that way all along, the alarm would not
   have gone off yet; then the alarm should be withdrawn and re-scheduled
   for the now-appropriate time.

Likewise, if I delete the event from the calendar, the alarm notification should
de-post (since now it's a notification for an event that doesn't even exist any
more.)

Nightly builds now work as requested, although admittedly, this can cause some confusion, since moving events short distances doesn't re-trigger the alarm, but moving it long distances does.
