Bug Description

It is very hard to edit calendar events in Evolution because the following two conditions must be met:
1- the event must be selected (requires 1 click and waiting a small amount of time)
2- you must then double-click in place (without triggering a drag!) to open the event editor dialog

Total: 3 clicks (which causes a lot of confusion, see upstream report). But there's no reason that it shouldn't be a single click (unless it's a click+drag, in which case it wouldn't open the event editor dialog).

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however since Evolution is no longer on the default Ubuntu CD, this no longer counts as a paper cut.
