Evolution sometimes does not display contact birthdays

[ClaudioRJ]

Binary package hint: evolution

Hi!
There's an issue in Evolution 2.26.1, Ubuntu 9.04 that I cannot tell how to reproduce because it seems to me that there's no obvious action that triggers it. So, I'll try to show the scenario.

Steps:
1. I have a contact with a birthday date registered. His/her birthday date are or are not repeated in other contact, this does not affect wheater the bug happens or not.
2. I select the calendar view in that day/month I can see his anniversary, with age. Fine.
3. I do something that I really don't know, between last step and the next one, what that triggers the bug.
3.1. Suddenly, at the same day I'm using Evolution, or other day, that anniversary entry does is not being displayed anymore.
3.2. So, I go to edit the contact entry and just change a letter of a word in the note field, let's say. Then I save this entry.
3.3. Then, when I select the calendar view in that day/month again, and I can see his anniversary, with age. (seems to me that I have only to save the contact entry again for the birthday displays)
4. But, in another day, this birthday entry that I "fixed", is not being dislayed any more.

This is not a priority bug, I suppose. But lends me to some embarassing situations, as I forgot 2 birthday dates that I really could not forget.

More clues:
- every day, at the end of the day, I backup my Evolution data and, sometimes, I restore it back.
- I've updated the evolution-data-server from proposed repository (but this bug happens since Evolution 2.24 in Ubuntu 8.10).

Hi, Pedro!
Still not fixed. I just opened a bug (#587745) at Bugzilla.

Thanks!

Isn't this the same as bug 324043?

This has been fixed upstream now for evolution 2.27.93+, so it should be there when Ubuntu 9.10 will be released. Thanks for reporting.

Sorry, I mixed some bugs up. This is not yet fixed.
