Package: evolution
Version: 2.12.3-1.1
Severity: normal


Hi,

The "Birthdays & Anniversaries" calendar seems to have some issues.

- Sometimes it works - I have no idea what does it like or does not
  like...
- Sometimes it shows just a tiny fraction of all entries. With the
  number of contacts I have, there should be about 2-3 birthday entries
  every day, but sometimes it only shows 1-2 per week.
- If I turn off the "Birthdays & Anniversaries" calendar and then I try
  to turn it on again, the GUI often hangs (the window is no longer
  updated, and it does not react when I want to close the window with
  the mouse).

This issue is not new, I remember having it for at least half a year or
even more, but so far I was lazy to report.

Gabor
