Redesign event editor dialog, 2018 edition
The current event editor dialog has a number of limitations and flaws. It currently looks like this:
The vertical layout limits the number of information that we can display at a certain time. If, for example, we add many alarms, the user needs to scroll down to see the comments.
The current layout also doesn't fit a potential new timezone selector widget, nor a guestlist.
