Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
There are significant differences in mouse behaviour between Day/Work Week views(good) and Week/Month views(broken).
1. In Day/Work Week views, you _can_ Drag'n'Drop (good). In Week/Month views you _can't_ (very bad)
2. In Day/Work Week views, double-clicking an event opens it in a new dialog window (good). In Week/Month views it _doesn't_ - you have to double-click _twice_ (very bad)
3. In Day/Work Week views, when you first click an event and then click somewhere else in the calendar, the focus changes accordingly (good). In Week/Month views, when you first click an event and then click somewhere else in the calendar, the focus doesn't change, it's still on the event (very bad)
The Day/Work Week views mouse behaviour is functional and intuitive. The Week/Month mouse behaviour is very cumbersome and incosistent.
I can't see any rationale for having 2 completely separate mouse behaviours between the calendar views. This is most likely a bug.

I find this bug quite important if you use the calendaring every day..
I wanted to report the scrolling issue and found this report.
