305495 - Only one task possible for each remote calendar ("new task" overwrites existing task)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Andy Buckley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050421 Red Hat/1.0.3-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050421 Red Hat/1.0.3-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.3 with Calendar 2005011113-cal

Adding a new task (either via the dropdown right-click menus or the toolbar
button) to a remote calendar overwrites the existing task, if there is one,
rather than adding a new one. The result is that each remote calendar can only
have one associated task. I haven't checked with local calendars as I don't use any.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a task for a remote calendar with the "New Task" toolbar button.
2. Repeat this step to add a second task to the same calendar.

Actual Results:  
Step 1 creates a new task with the chosen name in the the tasks menu. However,
repeating the step and adding a new task with a different name (Step 2)
over-writes the existing task rather than creating a new one: the task menu now
only shows the second task to be added.

Expected Results:  
Should have created both tasks.

If you don't mind, could you test if this occur on new Sunbird nightlies as well?

No response from reporter to Robin's question, and I'm unable to reproduce in a
current Sunbird nightly.  Marking WFM.

Oops, I think Robin's email got lost somewhere in my spam filters. Probably.
Anyway, I just checked on a recent nightly and it works fine. Cheers.
