We should have some visual and/or logical clue that multi-day events

are the same event. Especially they shouldn't have two separate delete

buttons that look as though they delete different things.

From #7485:



Complicated ideas include having the event bubbles connect across days.



A simple idea that might eliminate the worst confusion would be to not

show delete or edit buttons the 2nd, 3rd, + times an event is shown in

the same view.



This would NOT apply to recurring events, since there are already

sensible different actions for delete and edit based on which

recurrence is clicked.

I won't be able to get to any forwarding porting until mid-January at
the earliest.  I'm doing a stable deployment at the end of December,
and all of my "feature" work will be based on that.
I can understand that; I hope you understand that from our 
perspective, for stability, changes really need to go into HEAD first 
so that what gets merged down to the stable releases is, well, stable.
In the meantime, do you want updates to the prior patchset attached
to this bug, or would you prefer that I hold everything locally until
I have time to patch head?
I'd prefer you held it until you had a HEAD patch. I'm going to stall 
this ticket for now, but I do hope you have time to get back to it 
later.



Thanks for your contributions,

That looks great and I'm sure will be appreciated. Unfortunately I 
need to ask you to do these patches against HEAD, not the stable 
version. This is our policy for all enhancements; they go into HEAD 
and then are merged to the stable versions when appropriate. If the 
differences aren't great we'll try to use the same patches, but in 
this case Kronolith has been reorganized enough that this really needs 
to be done in HEAD.



Thanks!

patch for screen.css



I have several other changres to the css, so the line numbers might be 
off.  The changes are minor, and should be easy to eyeball (changing 
.*-eventbox -mox-border-radius from 15px to 5px, and adding classes 
for .blankline and .skip)

Summary ⇒ convert all-day appointments in week/work-week view so that multiple days are a contiguous block
Type ⇒ Enhancement
Reply to this comment
all-day appointments that last several days do not show up as 
contiguous blocks in the week and work-week views.  This is especially 
confusing if there are multiple appointments that partially overlap.



I've started reworking the week/work-week view so that all-day 
appointments are displayed as a single contiguous block.  I'm 
attaching a screen capture showing the changes to this.  I'll attach 
patches for lib/WeekView.php, lib/DayView.php, 
templates/day/all_day.inc, and themes/screen.css
