I have 2 calendars, desired and actual.
When i move a task on the right hand side, longer in duration than the left, they swap positions when viewing both. when viewing them separately they are lined up correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create task on calendar one
2.view both
3.create smaller task on calendar two
4. view both
5. drag task on calendar two to be longer than in calendar one


Actual Results:  
They swap over

Expected Results:  
Calendar 2 task stays in position.
the issue is that only that task swaps, the other tasks stay still so it is like a mix and match of the two calendars.

The views are supposed to show all enabled calendars as one. The views sort events/task by date and time to allow proper displaying. I don't see a problem here, everything seems to work as suppossed.

If I understand you correct you don't want to view the calendars side by side in one calendar but in different views like in Bug 277077?

i dont think i was very clear.

I like that multiple caldendars display in columns. but if
calendar A is on the left and calendar B is on the right, and calendar B has a task that goes for 6 hours and calendar A has one for 4 hours around the same time, then Calendar B's task will swap to the left and calendar A's task will swap to the right.

Let me know if this isn't explained properly.

After some testing I understand your problem. If you have two events with overlapping time spans in day/week view and drag one event to a smaller or larger time span, there is a reorder of the event boxes (i.e. swapping boxes) although they are still overlapping.

There are no details about what the start or due times of the two tasks are, both are needed to know what the ordering should be, so I can't check this. I imagine its fixed or working as intended though since I checked this section in bug 1713130
