Palm Sync Calendar corruption

J

John O'Keefe

I am experiencing a problem with command - T corrupting the calendar
display. I have figured out that this problem is related to the Palm
Entourage conduit. The problem appears only after a hot sync and
persists until the system is rebooted. Here are the steps.

1. In the view panel on the left, display at least three small monthly
calendars.
2. sync the palm
3. navigate ahead several months and click on a few dates in the
future.
4. hit command - T
5. Some of the dates on the small monthly calendar will no longer
display correctly- that date will actually be placed on the wrong day
of the week.

If you force the calendars to redraw by manually moving the sizing bar
up and down (hide views does nothing) it fixes the problem
temporarily, but it will reappear if you follow steps 3-5 until you
reboot the system. A sync starts the corruption all over again.

This seems like a bug to me. Any thoughts?

Hi John,

- Do you have SR-1 installed for Office?
- Do you only have the Entourage conduit in the conduits folder?
- Seeing that the issue persists until the machine is rebooted, have you
tried a new Office Identity?

Thanks for the reply. It now seems that I was mistaken -- the problem
is independent of the sync conduit. Since my original post, I have
been able to reproduce it without syncing.

Remember, the problem is not immediately obvious. It seems to be a
redraw problem with the small calendars. Here is how I discovered it.
I was invited to attend a meeting on Tuesday September 9. but my
little calendar displayed Tuesday, September 11, which I knew was
wrong. In fact, all the dates on the small september calendar were
messed up. If I clicked on tuesday, September 11, I was taken to (the
correct) Tuesday September 9th on the main calendar.

Now, this only happens if you have more than one small calendar
displayed and only if you navigate ahead several months so that all
the original months are replaced by new months. Then hit command - T
and voila, the small calendars become corrupted. It somethimes does
not happen on the first command - T but may take several.

I have been a able to reproduce this on another Mac.
