calendar buttons + calendar connection and comment window
Version: flatpak evolution 3.38.0 Using: exchange connection for corporate calendar For no apparent reason sometimes it seems the calendar becomes read-only. There's nothing in the calendar window that indicates a problem, but when a meeting request arrives all buttons (accept, tentative, decline) are greyed out and no response is possible. When right-clicking on the calendar and choosing "refresh", this seems to trigger something in evolution that changes the reply window to the meeting request:
As you can see, there's a "comment" section there. However, when accepting a meeting invitation in this state, evolution seems to store the reply (when opening the meeting in evolution the status indicated is "confirmed"), but in the list of participants I'm still indicated as "needs action".
After completely stopping evolution, killing all background processes, and starting again, the normal window appears to accept the meeting request: This time without the "comment" section, but in this case replying to the meeting is as expected: the status is "confirmed" and in the list of participants it is also indicated as "confirmed".
IMHO the comment section is nice to have (I think when indicated a decline or tentative, it is nice to be able to comment on the meeting request indicating the reason), but I think that this whole flow needs a little work here ...
