From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: When evolution triggers an alarm for an appointment, the alarm window does not show the text entered in the appointment's Summary. Instead, it displays 'Untitled Appointment'. This not always happens, though. I think it's related to either how long the summary field is or whether you use non-alphanumeric characters. But I'm not sure. For instance, if I set the summary to something like 'Company Meeting xxx-xxx-xxxx / xxx-xxx-xxxx', the alarm window shows up 'Untitled Appointment'. But if I set it to something like 'buy some groceries', then it shows up fine. I also synchronize evolution with my palm. I don't know if that could be a factor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a new appointment 2.Set the summary field to something long with non-alphanumeric characters. Actual Results: Evolution should shows 'Untitled Appointment' in the alarm window Expected Results: Evolution should show the Summary field in the window Additional info:
I can't reproduce this here with some appointments entered by hand... by chance is it only showing up with things synced from the palm? If so, I'd almost be willing to bet it's a conduit bug :(
Yeah, I think it might be the conduits. The funny thing is that some appointments that I have been synchronizing for ages don't get messed up. A total mystery :(
Is this better in 8.0 and/or rawhide?
Yes. It is rather temperamental though. It always displays the text that you type when you first create the appointment. If you want to change the text of the reminder, you have to explicitly remove the existing reminder, add a new one and in the Options for the reminder type the new text. Awkward, but it works.
This looks like it works for me with 1.4.x in rawhide with a quick test.
