351760 - unifinder selection semantics are very non-intuitive

Status: NEW

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

In particular, doing "select all" while focus is in the unifinder doesn't in fact select everything in the unifinder.  Instead, it only selects stuff which is both in the unifinder and in the current view.  Perhaps this problem will simply go away when jminta thrashes the unifinder to within an inch of its life.

Not sure if this is the same but in some cases (not always) when I use Ctrl+A for tasks I get error:

Unifinder is also available in Lightning now.

Current bahviour seems to be that all events that are in the current view AND before are selected.
Items in the future of the current view are not selected.
