Environment

Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 Hot Patch 2

Situation

In the Day or Week calendar view, appointment times no longer scroll when dragging and dropping an existing appointment to a new time.

7.x versions of the GroupWise client allowed for dragging and dropping appointments to new times even if the desired time wasn't displayed in the current window.   If the the appointment was being moved from early in the morning to late in the afternoon the time window would scroll down to allow the drop where wanted. 

In the 8.x client the scroll function is no longer available.  If the time you want to drag to is too early or too late to be visible on screen then the appointment must be manually edited with the new start and stop times.

Resolution

One option to work around the problems is to maximize the calendar window so more of day is displayed.  Otherwise the appointment must be manually edited to change start and stop times.

The problem has been fixed in GroupWise 8.0.2 HP 3
