326331 - New event/task dialog does not use selected calendar as default

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

New events/tasks are not created in the selected calendar.

1. Start Sunbird with a clean profile.
2. Create a second calendar named 'test'.
3. Go to calendar tab and ensure that the new calendar 'test' is selected.
4. Create new event/task via drag'n'drop, double click, toolbar icon or menu command.

Actual results:
The new event is created in the 'Home' calendar and not in the selected calendar 'test'.

Expected results:
The new event/task is created in the selected calendar.

Tested on windows and linux with 2006-02-07 sunbird trunk build. No problems with lighting.

Ok, seems that event creation via drag'n'drop always created the entries in the first calendar and not the selected calendar. Removing that issue from this bug.

The remaining issue about creation via double click, toolbar icon or menu
command seems a regression from the new item dialog landing. 
Works in sunbird win32-2006-01-21-10-trunk build
Fails in sunbird win32-2006-01-22-07-trunk build

Attachment: look at arguments too

All the support for this was already there, we just didn't look at the .calendar argument that was passed in.

I guess that read 'If this is a new item,...' ?

r=mvl with that fixed

however (my working profile) sometimes first calendar is selected but event is assigned to second one, can not create scenario to reproduce it
