If you either create a new event or modify an existing one by dragging the end time off the bottom of the calendar, the drag box disappears.  I would expect the view to scroll down as the end time is extended past the visible area.

In addition, after attempting to create a new event in this manner, it appears that one can no longer select any event.  Sunbird must be restarted before one can select (or right-click) a single event.  You can edit an existing event by double-clicking on it, but simple selection by single-clicking fails (instead, the entire day is selected).

This makes it difficult to create an event that is longer than the viewable area.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Click and hold the mouse in the timeline area.
2.  Drag down until the end time is into the Status Bar.


Actual Results:  
The event box disappears.  In addition, one can no longer select events.

Expected Results:  
The view should scroll down to accommodate the drag operation.

This only seems to happen if the Status Bar is enabled.

The workarounds -- e.g. making the viewable area bigger, or decreasing the time resolution in the timeline -- are cumbersome.  One could also create a short event, then manually edit the end time in the event editor.
