  1. I need you make trash for it.

    Hi all. Could you pls give a kind look at the following bugs?
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412962
    Since 0.8, the task view lost the ability to show only open (not completed) tasks. Instead, we can wee only closed (completed) ones. IMHO, the former is greatly more useful.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399605
    In some places around Calendar, text is shown with the OS regional settings language, regardless of the localization language.
    Many thanks and keep up!

  3. Hi all. I have two problems with the last nightly Lightning version:
    1. I cannot edit existing tasks, nor from Today Panel or Task View.
    2. Small box by each event in the Today Panel is always the same colour than its Calendar, but I need to use the colour of the Category instead.
    Thanks in advance.

  4. I could not find it, so does anyone know if there is a bug for adding the Address Book/Contracts to the list of items on the bottom left (next to Mail, Calendar, & Tasks?
    thanks
    Alan

  5. I second Emerson’s first request.

  6. @Alan
    you are searching the bug 403950 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403950

  7. Thanks Decathlon!
    now hopefully they will add that…
    of course i also want a simple memo/notes feature like Outlook or was in the Palm Desktop software. Unfortunately every time i see some with a bug related to that they mark it as Won’t fix even though I think it is a key component
    thanks agian

  8. In the Multiweek and Month pane I don’t get a New Event window with the date I double-clicked or “right-clicked -> New Event” on. Thats a mayor annoyance for me.

  9. @Chris M.:
    Works for me using Sunbird 0.9pre (20080527). Maybe you are still using an older nightly build that was affected by Bug 432998.

  10. with lighting 0.8 I had the following problem:
    emails with attached event invitation from some servers (for example Notes server) are shown with “Accept” button, but the button doesn’t work.
    I tried lightning 0.9pre.
    for the same event invitation the button is not shown anymore.
