275887 - click+drag on timeslots leads to wrong end of event

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[mozillabugs]

affects day view/week view:
selecting just a single timeslot (e.g. 8:00) gives you a 8:00-9:00 event
(according to the dialog box), selecting both 8:00 and 9:00 timeslots, it's
still an 8:00-9:00 event, instead of 8:00-10:00.

This is just a mess.

Dragging a slot in the Day or Week view should not select multiple slots and
then immediately create an event in this way.

The normal way to select a range is by using Shift.  Then drag and drop the
range on the tasks list or events list to create a task or event.

Also, the toolbar buttons and context menu should respect the selected range.

Also, if the drop will not do anything (for example, on the Calendars list) the
pointer should change to indicate this.

Also, the selection should not be invisible if the day is the current day in the
Week view.

Also, the selection should not allow gaps (unselected slots in the middle).

FWIW, I also see the wrong end time, as was originally reported.

i think i found it:

dragDrop.js, line 283:
change: gEndDate.setHours( aEvent.target.getAttribute( "hour" ) );
to: gEndDate.setHours( parseInt(aEvent.target.getAttribute( "hour" )) + 1 );

this should do the trick (hey, first bugreport and - hopefully - a solution
within 24 hours ;) )

fixed by the switch to the new views (bug 297934)
