331601 - Weekend event displays incorrectly in week view

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: General, defect)

I have also observed this type of events working under WinXP.  Any event that spans the weekend seems to be recorded interanlly correctly, but display is skewed.  The event in week view shows on the saturday as is should, but also on the previous sunday.  Moving to the next week views shows the event on the proper sunday and does NOT wrap to the next sunday.  Summation:  Week view, for weekend spanning events, displays coming weekend events split over coming saturday and previous sunday.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set up an event that occurs on saturday and sunday.
2.  Switch to the week view showing the saturday of the event.
3.  Note that the sunday at the beginning of this week shows the next sunday's event.

Actual Results:  
I schedule many once/month weekend events(army reservist).  Each of the several I observed were recorded correctly as far as i could tell, but displayed incorrectly in the week view.  Where the event wrapped on the display from the saturday it occurs on to the sunday previous.  Advancing to the next week shows the event properly on its appropriate sunday and does not wrap backwards to the next saturday displayed.

Expected Results:  
I would expect to not have the event wrap back to the beginning of the week in week view.

I don't see any of the functionality affected here, just a display issue.  The workaround is to ignore the false sunday info.  Use month view to be see how the event truly spans.

Works for me using Sunbird 0.3a1+ (20060324) on Windows.

The views have been rewritten since Sunbird 0.3a1. Please download a nightly build and test again. Caution: Make a profile backup ot test with a new profile because you can switch back to Sunbird 0.3a1 afterwards (internal database format changed.)
