  1. Create a meeting at 9:00-12:00

EXPECTED RESULTS:

Calendar event is visible in events view also after 9:00 until 12:00

ACTUAL RESULTS:

Event is now shown once its start time has passed

  • Patchmanager: yes
  • OpenRepos: no
  • Chum: yes
  • Other: none specified

Isn’t this a feature request, rather than a bug report?

Hmm, I think you’re correct. I’ll move the thread.

Note: This does not affect all-day events, as those actually are visible in the events view during that day.

It can also be seen as a regression, as SFOS 4.5 does indeed show ongoing events just like future events:

As an idea, what about showing the end date for ongoing events somehow like this?

Okay, so this could be a regression bug indeed…

I’m using a NextCloud calendar for these, if it matters.

Could someone test this with a synced calendar in <= 4.5? If it still happens, I’ll move this back to bugs.

The first screenshot above is from 4.5 with a synced calendar.

#8

I just tried it, I see ongoing events on the event screen even on 4.6 with a nextcloud synced calendar

But nevertheless showing the end in such a case would be a great addition.

Okay, it looks like I need to do some more testing and diagnosis. Thanks for your input so far!
