In the "Upcoming Events" embedded calendar, a event that spans multiple days is shown many times, once for each day. This is very confusing, since it gives the impression that they are multiple different events. Instead of showing someting like: July 1 Multi-day event 2 Multi-day event 3 Multi-day event 4 Multi-day event 5 Multi-day event it should show July 1 - 5 Mutli-day event Since each day is shown as a separate event, this also breaks the "maxevents" parameter, which not only will not show the desired amount of separate events, but gives the false impression that a long multi-day event is shortar than it is, because only "maxevents" days are shown. The attached image illustrates the problem (length of event is 5 days, maxevents = 3)

There is no bug. And your proposed "solution" won't work either, because how would you render if you have both multi-day and single-day events during the same days?

At the very least it's a usability issue, even if you don't agree that showing the wrong number of days for an event is a bug. If maxevents does not, in fact, set the maximum number of events to show, could the name be changed to something that reflects its use better? Maybe "maxeventdays"? Multiple events during a day can be shown e.g. like this: April 11.-15. Multiday event 13. Single day event in the middle of the above event If you are concerned that people think that the second event is after the first one (instead of during) a special icon could be added to turn attention to this. The default could still be the old behaviour, but I think having an option for this would be nice. Here's my use case: I have lots of long 10-15 day events mixed with lots of single day events (although they do not usually overlap). I need to show entire events so people don't get confused (i.e. don't show that a 15 day event is 2 days long), but at the same time it looks bad to have 30 single day events listed in some cases (if I make maxevents large enough to fit all the longer events). It's also difficult to see single day events when they are "hidden" between two long multiday events. At a glance, how many different events are listed below? 1. My event a 2. My event a 3. My event a 4. My event a 5. My event a 6. My event a 7. My event a 8. My event a 9. My event a 10. My event a 11. My event c 12. My event d 13. My event d 14. My event d 15. My event e 16. My event f 17. My event f 18. My event f 19. My event f Compare with: 1.-10. My event a 11. My event c 12.-14. My event d 15. My event e 16.-19. My event f

> Multiple events during a day can be shown e.g. like this: > April > 11.-15. Multiday event > 13. Single day event in the middle of the above event This makes sense. I confused the "Upcoming" block with the "Summary" block which has headers, not prefixes for the individual days.
