Reminders from Google are displayed as “This is an event reminder”

[Lalo Martins]

When Evolution syncs from Google Calendar, event reminders are displayed at the right time, but the title of the popup is “This is an event reminder” instead of the correct text.

Release: 13.10

  Installed: 3.8.4-0ubuntu1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

no workaround yet?

Confirmed here too. Interesting thing I noticed is that when you click "Edit", the event name is in the "Summary" field. Perhaps Google's Calendar API changed and has become misaligned with what Evolution expects.

Would love a fix or workaround!

This issue is fixed on Ubuntu 13.10, evoluion version 3.10.3-0ubuntu3~saucy1.

Do you have a PPA installed? The GNOME version in 13.10 is 3.8 (which has the bug). That is not a fix to the problem.

[Caleb Howland (Menzador) (menzador)]

... And by that I mean that version of Evolution you mentioned was probably part of GNOME 3.10 that didn't make it to the repos in time. My guess is that with 14.04 this will be fixed, so unless a fix is released inside the repos befire 14.04's release, this is probably invalid.

Here's one for ya. You don't need Evolution. I'm getting it with Thunderbird on Mint. Go figure. Google calendar problem?
