813915 - "Event has not been saved" message is misleading

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 687412

(Calendar :: Dialogs, defect)

Description

[krefson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.10) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.10
Build ID: 20121027203749

Steps to reproduce:

Opened an existing event, but made no change.  Then dismissed window.


Actual results:

A popup appeared stating 
    "Event has not been saved"
and offering the possibility of cancelling the quit.



Expected results:

The message is misleading, as the event IS saved - unchanged -, and the "correct" action is to click the "don't save" button.

The message is correct and intuitive  only when this is a NEW event, and is actively confusing for an existing event.  In that case the popup text should change to "Changes to event have not been saved" and the button text should change to "Don't save changes".

In fact it would also be useful if lightning was clever enough to notice that no changes had been made and not bother with the dialogue at all.

Lightning 1.2 is out of date. Are you able to reproduce using the current Lightning 1.9 release for Thunderbird 17 ESR?

OK, I need to append a little bit:

I doesn't seem to pop up always.

I guess it's something about synchronized calendars (in my case, Google Calendar)...

To reproduce it:

-create a new event in network calendar
-Fill out "Title" and "Description"
-Save and close
-right click on your calendar and "Synchronize calendars"
-open the event again and close it (without changing anything !)  -> you'll be asked to save it

It could be a duplicate of bug 687412.
