654806 - Duplication of events from one calendar to all other calendars when using cache

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 479867

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

I am using Sunbird as a host for 5 Google calendar calendar's all from the same account. When using the experimental cache feature Sunbird populates all of the events from calendar 1 (when it is cached) to all other cached calendars and vice versa. So if calendars 2-5 are also cached I have five of every event. This only happens between calendars which are cached, so if only 1 and 2 are cached then only they share events.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add 2+ google calendars with Calendar DAV to Sunbird
2. Right click on 1st calendar and select properties then check Cache
3. Repeat Step 2 for all calendars
4. Restart Sunbird

Actual Results:  
The details as described took place.

Expected Results:  
The calendars should not cross populate events, and the calendar should be able to open without the internet being connected.

I recognize that is experimental, just thought to give feedback

This is has been fixed a year ago with Bug 479867. Unfortunately Sunbird is no longer being developed anymore and no updates are provided. You can a) live with the problem or b) switch to Thunderbird + Lightning 1.0b2.
