Evolution calandar month view compress weekends wont work properly

[kulight]

Binary package hint: evolution

Compress week ends always compresses Saturday and Sunday and not the non working day as marked,
in my case Friday and Saturday.

this bug also affects me... so I am including more info

This bug is 100% reproducible (at least for me...)

Steps to reproduce:
under Preferences -> Calendar and Tasks -> General under Work days check all but Saturday and Friday
and make sure that under Display make sure that "Compress weekends in month view" is checked.

Expected behavior:
Saturday and Friday should be compressed into a single column.

Actual behavior:
Evolution compresses Saturday and Sunday instead, the default behavior, while marking the weekends with dark grey correctly.

Package Versions:
evolution 2.28.3-0ubuntu10
evolution-common 2.28.3-0ubuntu10
evolution-exchange 2.28.3-0ubuntu10
evolution-plugins 2.28.3-0ubuntu10
evolution-couchdb 0.4.5-0ubuntu1
evolution-data-server 2.28.3.1-0ubuntu5
evolution-data-server-common 2.28.3.1-0ubuntu5
evolution-webcal 2.28.0-1
evolution-indicator 0.2.8-0ubuntu1

I think that weekend compression is hard-coded to Saturday and Sunday, or is controlled by some hidden setting...
It won't be hard to fix...

On a related note, the "Compress weekends in month view" option has no effect. If unchecked, Sat/Sun are still compressed.

Same for me here. I use only the monthly view and most of my activities are at the weekend. I hate those regressions.

I fully agree with #7 as I have the same problem.

Pedro, I filed the original upstream bug last year. This issue is not resolved in Natty using Evolution 2.32.2. Reopening. See reproduction instructions at upstream:
