518426 - Events take up entire width of given space. Thus creating new events at the same time is very difficult.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 367131

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090921 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.5.2
Build Identifier: 1.0 pre

When looking at the day or week views, if a user has an event at a given time, it's very challenging to create another event at that same time.

My workflow for creating new events is to click and drag across the space where I want the event to be. Unfortunately though, there's no space to the left or right of events on the calendar, so doing so is very difficult.

If you look at google calendar (online), for example, there is always a space to the right of events, which allows a user to click and create new events. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an event from noon to 1.
2. Try to make another event from noon to 1 by using the mouse.
3. Note that you can't do that without manually entering the start and end times.


Expected Results:  
I expect a space to the right of events where I can click to create new events at the same time.

Solution may be bug 367131. Can we mark this bug report as a duplicate of the other one?

Yep, definitely. Don't know how you folks can find these dups. I check, and I search, and I try and I fail...
