Bug Description

Running OTA-9.1 on an BQ E5, today the "agenda-view" in the calendar stopped showing any event that is beyond the comming 7 days. It has made me confused enough to doubt myself: this could be the desired way the agenda view is working? However, i clearly remember seeing the ubuntu-development UI-freeze event i entered there, that is due to happen the 10th march 2016. Also i remember seeing a few birthdays i entered in there... Now, i can get events to display in agenda but only if their dates are not beyond 7 days in the future...

If this is the intended way of the Agenda-view to function, please consider my repport as a wishlist entry, for an agenda view that shows events for at least 6 month forward in time.

---- Solution -----
Agenda view should not impose restrictions and should load all events on demand as the user scrolls down.

upcoming events do show up in the header menu (top of the screen where battery, network etc are located), when tapping on these events from this header-menu, the calendar opens in agenda-view, but the event i tapped is not being displayed in the agenda view.

This seems to be a feature of the agenda, and i can see it fit well for people with very busy schedule to whom 6 month of event entries would probably be a pain to load...

While i'm at it, i want to thank the devels for the great job. It's not perfect yet, but close to it!

Hi Set Hallstrom, thanks for taking the time to report this bug. I talked to the calendar app designers, and it seems this restriction was never restricted. I suppose this done some time back to help with performance issues that was affecting the calendar app. The design decision is to show all events without any date restrictions and load it on demand (as the user scrolls down).
