575133 - Week view in Thunderbird/Lightning will not display events

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

Week view of Lightning in Thunderbird will not display events.  All other views seem to be displaying all events properly, including the task view.  I created a screenshot which is available at the linked URL, as the easiest way to understand this:

What it does display is a collapsed series of lines, instead of empty dates, across the entire view; if you switch out to a different view and then back again, only the first day shows the collapsed lines, but all events still remain blank.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird with Lightning add-on.  If week view is not selected, select this.
2. Notice there are no events and calendar lines are collapsed.  Check other views- notice they are listed there just fine.  Check tasks; also fine.
3. Click back into week view.  
Actual Results:  
Now only the first day in view is collapsed, but still no other events are displaying.

Expected Results:  
Um, to be able to see the week view!  :)

Thunderbird/Lightning has been acting extremely slow and buggy since I installed it on my mac today.  I have tried reinstalling, no improvement.  Nothing else on my computer has been malfunctioning.  I also have the most recent version of Firefox installed and it works fine.

Do you see any calendar related error messages in Tools > Error Console? If yes please copy and paste them here.

Do you use other extensions that might break Lightning? Could you retest with only Lightning and the default theme?

Could you check if the view settings are valid in the Lightning preference dialog?

This continues in Lightning v1.1.1 as of today's date (TB 9.0.1).  I have four subscribed calendars.  One is read only.

There are NO errors in the log.

The multiweek works for showing 1 or 2 weeks.  However 1 week for multiweek doesn't show the times as Week does, so using it is temporary only.

It would be really helpful to get this fixed.

NB it is also an issue on Ubuntu platform.  Please check Lauchpad for the bug description.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700531

I had the exact same issue with the week view and it was really annoying. Not sure why it started happening at all.

I just disabled the extension and restarted TB.
Then I enabled it again and restarted once more.
It started working fine. Not sure why either.

I hope this helps somebody else.

No, I don't. It's working fine now after what I did.
