@rjs1 No problem, hope it works for you 👍
By the way, I suggest you tone your use of language down a bit and try to avoid insulting people and making statements about their political leanings, even if their replies do not suit you. We are all volunteers here. If someone's reply does not solve your problem, just wait until someone else replies.
Oh and I don't know about Luetage's political leanings - myself, I'm one of those scary socialists 😱
You see, I like helping people, out of my free will 🙂
@eggert said in 2 Wonky Calendar Displays:
@janrif The first one is interesting. This text in the description field is iCalendar string for event recurrence. How it ended up there is curious. Is this a task you added in Vivaldi or did it come from some other source, like email invite or synced from server?
Regarding the cutoff, there is a limit on the height of the editor dialog, based on the window height. You should on the other hand be able to scroll the dialog to get to the buttons. If this is happening without the dialog being almost full height of the browser window or you are not able to scroll then those are bugs.
@eggert Task was added in Vivaldi. You've put your finger on the display problem; no way to scroll, no way to move up, adjust size, etc. BTW, there is another bug report about something similar when selecting data from a webpage & sending to email. See here and thank you.
@mib2berlin I'm sure your diagnosis is correct. I had several graphic/displays going at same time. When I closed one those down, the Vivaldi display corrected itself. Thank you.
@AltCode I guess we need to work on iCloud support better. Seeing as this is Apple I'd assume that they have a lot of proprietary properties on the calendar that control how they should work.
The same does apply to some extent to other services, like google calendars, where we sync holidays calendars and have them writable when they should not be. Problem is that the servers just hand them over like any other calendar and we have to figure out if they are special. I have not been working much directly with the syncing code so I don't really know how much work it is to properly detect this, but we will need to improve on that.
In the mean time you should be able to hide these calendars and prevent any syncing of them from settings. Currently no way to remove them altogether from the UI though, but that possibility is high on our priority list and will be worked on after summer holiday period.
As always, thanks a lot for your input. Have a good weekend 🙂

UPDATE -- looks like the problem was not basic vs digest authentication. I think it has something to do with my work VPN proxying HTTPS connections. I can successfully connect to my caldav server if I do so via my home LAN. But if I'm outside the LAN and using my work VPN then I get the authentication error.
Yes, web calendars are read only so they can not be set as default to create events into.
Good you managed to solve this and thank you very much for using Vivaldi Calendar.
I can also confirm this no longer works with Vivaldi 5.3.2679.61. The add-on DAV-4-TbSync is still working in Thunderbird. I want to switch to Vivaldi because I like this idea of a full mail and calendar app in my browser, but this is preventing me from doing that.
@mib2berlin Unfortunately I don't speak Russian sufficiently to explain my issues in the Russian forum. I sure hope though that my reports here in the global forum are helpful to the Vivaldi team.
@tomica As I understand it: Adding a webcalendar loads events from the webcalendar server in your client. These events can be updated by the server, but you can’t write to the server. You can however import an .ics calendar file and add it to a calendar account you have access to. This will sync and you will be able to add events, but you won’t get updates from the source (it is under your control alone). These are two different ways of adding third‐party calendars and both have up‐ and downsides.
Feel free to correct me, but it’s how I think this works.
@eggert Thanks for the honest answer. That's what I like 🙂
I wish you successful debug sessions, bug fixes, refactorings and so on and am available for tests if needed.
Have a good day!
As far as I understand the Caldav calendar on my ISP server comes from cPanel and uses Roundcube as an interface. In talking to support at GreenGeeks I was told that they would need to add an extension to enable me to change calendar colors and create new calendars and they could not do that on shared servers.
Adding an option to not sync calendar colors would be a perfect solution, assuming it is reasonably simple at your end. I have an Android app Davx5 on my phone to take care of syncing caldav to Android and that has an option "Manage Calendar Colors" that ignores the color sent from the server if you switch it off. So my calendar happily remains the yellow I crave on my phone 🙂
And I am finding Vivaldi much more than useful. It is exactly what I have been looking for!
@eggert No worries. im grateful you responded to fast.
Its a nice to have but not a must - i'd rather see it the webpanel features exist in android at all before anymore work is done on the panels on desktop lol (if im being honest)
Also, im in no rush so im excited and can't wait to see the update when it comes in for the calendar.
