Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

I can't add my google calendars... or any web cals, because ok remains grayed out. I know it's a bug because I managed to get one calendar to work by messing with the dialog box a bit(changing the color, switching to a different calendar on the list before going back to the one I wanted, checking then unchecking boxes).

I'm running KARMIC and I have a picture

Playing with this some more I've nailed it down... If you don't fill out the information from top to bottom the "ok" widget will remain grayed out. For example put in your user name and retrieve the cal list before naming the calendar. If I name the calendar, put in my user name, retrieve and select the calendar I want it works. However if I then change the color or the name, before clicking "ok", the name change and the color change will not stick. I have to edit properties every time to get the color I want, and the name if I decided to change it during the calendar creation process.

I experienced the same problem.

In my opinion, the steps that lead to the problem are actually a very natural workflow here, so the importance of this bug should be upgraded.

Workflow: The user wants to add a new Google calendar to Evolution, and wants the new Evolution calendar to have the same name as the Google calendar being referenced. To get the Google calendar name, the user will need to retrieve the Google calendar list before entering the name into the form (by hand, no less), invoking the bug. Indeed, for a new Evolution user, the steps to "add all my Google calendars" (which is what I was trying to do) will very likely result in just that scenario. (Side note for a seperate feature request: Evolution should really just have an "add all my Google calendars" button and save the user from creating each one and manually typing in its name.)

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance.

Behavior is unchanged (still a bug) in Ubuntu Natty. The "OK" box remains grayed-out if you retrieve the calendar list before entering a name for the new calendar.
