799128 - Free space/gap on right side of event in day and week view, doesn't fill full width

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Attachment: screenshot: event with gap on right side

Thunderbird Trunk Daily 20121007 and Lightning Trunk 20121007, Windows XP SP3 32 bit

There is some free space on the right side of an event in day and week view, just like a gap, and the event doesn't fill the full available width. This look worse in week view than in day view because of the smaller column width. At first I thought the space is reserved for category or alarm labels, but adding them didn't change the event's width.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Switch to Week view.
2. Create an event for a day in view, set the duration to 1 hour.

Actual result: Gap, see screenshot
Expected result: Event has equal margin on all four sides.

Attachment: Comparison old - proposal

My proposal is instead of the 5px margin on the right, to give on both sides a margin of 1px. A margin of 0px would make the drop shadow almost invisible when the event is selected.
Naturally this needs also the same change for rotated view.

If I remember correctly the space was added on purpose to still allow creating events using mouse drag and drop although an event is already displayed.

Bug 367131 was that.

Ah, okay then this bug should be INVALID or WONTFIXed?

WONTFIX, I think. Sorry, drag creation didn't work before because I had a broken selected.
