All Day Event not showing in Week or Day View (Outlook 2007)

[barnkat]

I'm running my display in 1680x1050 resolution. As a result, Outlook 2007
doesn't show any All Day Events in either the Week or Day views, only in
Month view. What shows up in Week or Day is a downward arrow in the All Day
section; when clicked, the arrow opens a new, blank event. This only happenes
when the program is Maximized on the screen; when I "unmaximize" (make the
program a smaller, floating box), the Week and Day view show the All Day
Events. If I change my resolution to a lower one (say 1280x768), the Week &
Day views work fine all the time. Any ideas on why the higher resolution
causes the events to disappear?

if you move the task divider (the one at the bottom of the screen) do they
display correctly? there is something goofy with the views that if the
window is a specific size, the all day part shrinks. The section is supposed
to scroll (using scroll bars) but doesn't.

Resetting the view should fix it as well.

Moving the task divider makes no difference. I've tried the scroll bars, but
they don't work. I'd post a view of Maximized and Unmaximized, but can't post
photos! I've tried resetting the view, but that doesn't help. I have too much
going on to run at a lower screen resolution, but it's a pain not to see All
Day Events in my normal (Week) view.

Try opening outlook with the cleanviews switch. You can also try using
Outlook at less than full screen and adjusting the width of the to-do and
navigation panes. (I occasionally have the same problem and resetting the
view always fixes it. )

http://www.slipstick.com/_bugs/disappearingevents/disappearingevents.html is
a video I made of it months ago when I reported it to ms. I later discovered
it goes away for a while when I reset the view.

Also, if you don't have outlook Sp1 installed, do so.
