Etar doesn't show event that was changed from confirmed to cancelled

[vitrif]

Hello,

My Etar does show cancelled events in general, but if i cancel a confirmed event externally (from Thunderbird via Caldav Protocol) the event is just gone in Etar.
My Setup: Caldav-Server, DAVx5 to Sync to Android, Etar 1.0.34

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

What do you mean by that? How can Etar show cancelled events if you cannot cancel them in Etar and you cannot cancel them anywhere else?

What steps do you perform which lead to Etar showing cancelled events?

I confirm the issue, using Etar 1.0.47 from F-droid and web calendars hosted in a Nextcloud instance, synced with DAVx⁵.

Settings:

• Setting: hide cancelled events set to false

Partially functional:

• Etar freshly installed show existing cancelled events, strikedthrough as implemented by Show canceled events using strikethrough #697

Issue:

• cancelling a confirmed event from any remote (Nextcloud or Thrunderbird) and syncing Etar or DAVx⁵ : modified event disappears from Etar while older cancelled events are still visible (stilled strikedthrough).
• Said event also disappears from other calendar apps of the same device

Workaround:

• syncing calendars from another calendar app on same device (Samsung default calendar 4.4.09.1) makes newly cancelled events them visible again in both the other app and Etar app (strikedthrough as expected).

Thoughts:

• As a very first thought, it is like Etar flags as hidden known events switching to cancelled state, and other apps clears this flag upon resync.
