412918 - New Tasks run out of the view

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

Description

[Christian Jansen]

Steps to reproduce:

In Today Pane, or Task Mode:
     - Add tasks to the task list until the scrollbar occurs
     - Add some more ...

Bug: The newest tasks are not displayed, because the ran out of
the visible area.

Suggestion for a fix:
Add tasks by default on top of the list.

I'm requesting blocking‑calendar0.8 for that bug, because it is bug which has very high "annoyance factor" for the daily life....

I wonder If I should select the new created task. By selecting the new task we would change the visibe range of the tree and assure that the new task will always be visible - on the other hand the user might not want that.  Any comments?

It seams that the task is selected. I'm not sure, because the selection is painted gray. Please assure that the feature of adding (multiple) tasks by simply hitting return does not break.

I just added one line to make sure that the added item is visible. As I discuessed with Christian I kept the behaviour that the task is added to the end of the tree.
