I have a lot of finished tasks in my task list, and also a few unfinished tasks. Normally I have "Show completed Tasks" unchecked, but I had reason to enable it for a while. Now I want to go back to how I used to see the list: "Show completed Tasks" unchecked.

However, when I uncheck it, my Task list is shown as empty/blank! If I toggle it, it will show both my completed and incomplete tasks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure "Show completed Tasks" is unchecked
2. Create a set of tasks
3. Cross out or check some tasks for completion
4. Toggle "Show completed Tasks" and verify everything is in the list
5. Toggle "Show completed Tasks" again
Actual Results:  
List is blank and empty.

Expected Results:  
My incomplete tasks should show in the list

???
Profit! $$$

If you use the scroll wheel on your mouse after you reproduce the problem -- may have to click in the white space of the task list -- it will "scroll" the hidden incomplete tasks into the task list view.

I can't reproduce this issue with the steps above. What calendar type are you using?

Please enable calendar.debug.log and calendar.debug.log.verbose in the advanced config editor (Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor) and check your error console for messages.

I'm sorry, but I do not understand what you mean by "advanced config editor"; where do I find this?


***** Also, try adding a few tasks with "Show completed tasks" UNCHECKED. Then CHECK "Show completed tasks" and add a few tasks. Then TOGGLE "Show completed tasks". *****

Here is a screenshot of when I do the above (in which my list appears to have completely vanished), and when I scroll on my mouse wheel ONE TICK DOWN: http://www.hlrse.net/Qwerty/.sunbirderr.png

I checked for updates (there were none), and here is what is in my About:

Thank you!

I'm having similar trouble with tasks disappearing.  The error console has many errors for  'too much recursion' and one error for 'aNotifyBox.getNotificationWithValue is not a function'.

Confirming - this occurs whenever switching between filters, if the old filter's results scroll further than the new filter's results and an item near the end of the list is selected.

Wanted for comm-beta (after the merge)?

This could be checked in to comm-aurora too and therefore automatically land on comm-beta during the merge tomorrow, assuming that Philipp approves this.

Comment 12

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen][📱📆]]

Oh right, yes thats the easier alternative. Go ahead and do that, also for the other patches I approved.
