gnome clock's calendar appears misplaced

[David Prieto]

Whenever I click on the gnome clock, a calendar appears. If I don't have any things to do on that day there's no problem. But if there are any duties they seem to "push down" the calendar so the panel can no longer be seen.

I'll leave a couple of shots for you to know what I talk about:

Thats supposed to happen.

Is it supposed to stay over the panel, so I can't reach the panel, nor see the rest of the calendar, nor click the clock again to make it disappear?

I'm sure you misunderstood me, in this picture (http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/7286/27ki.jpg) the missing part is offscreen. I don't think that's supposed to happen.

In other words: the calendar should be pushed down if the clock applet is on the TOP panel, but not in the BOTTOM panel which is the case.

Thanks.

Thanks for the bug report. I have the calendar on the bottom panel as well - what is the problem exactly? I can't see the calendar change in position at all (having appointments or not, doesn't change anything). The size, shape and position doesn't change for me. Could you try to explain, what the problem is? Which version of Ubuntu and gnome-panel do you use?

"what is the problem exactly? I can't see the calendar change in position at all (having appointments or not, doesn't change anything). The size, shape and position doesn't change for me".

The problem, for me, is the position does change for me. The calendar seems to be taking its top as the reference to grow or shrink, so when it grows -e.g. when selecting a day with apointments- it covers the panel.

I hope I made yself clear, I can't find any other way to express what happens. I can say that http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/7286/27ki.jpg shows the bottom right corner of the screen. You see that the panel is covered and parts of the calendar are offscreen.

I'm running on dapper, by the way.

Thanks.

do you use metacity or an another window manager like compiz?

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

I seem to recall it happened with either WM. But it hasn't happened for months, so never mind, I guess.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

making fixed then, looks like a window manager bug though and I think we got a similar bug due to compiz some time ago. Feel free to reopen if you get the problem again

I have the same bug, but it only happens in bottom panels, not upper panels. I switched the clock and calendar to the upper panel to avoid this bug... otherwise you have to click in panel to bring it to front and see the clock again to close the calendar.

regards.
