Weekly view rendering of All-Day event spaning multiple days
An all-day event, spanning multiple days, renders strangely on the weekly view:
This is version 6.21.3 Pro running on a Wileyfox Swift (5", 1280×720, 294ppi) with Android 10 (LineageOS).

Do you have any other events in these days?
I see the same rendering, independent of overlapping events. In other words, the existence of other events in those days makes no difference.

I see the same rendering, independent of overlapping events. In other words, the existence of other events in those days makes no difference.
Well I should clarify: the width does change to fit the display of other events, but the full-height render remains:
havent you disabled "Show events spanning across midnight at the top bar" in the app settings?
havent you disabled "Show events spanning across midnight at the top bar" in the app settings?
All-day events lasting only one day will show at the top bar regardless of this setting. Shouldnt all-day events lasting multiple days show at the top bar aswell?
Then this isnt a bug but rather a feature request? Ive opened one #2136
I think this behaviour could be better:
- unless it's marked as "all day event", at least 6h of the next day should be used by the event in order to consider it for top-bar placement.
Currently, the issue is that if an event runs from 18.00-01.00, it is placed in the top bar. So I can't see when it begins unless I open the event.
If I uncheck the options in the settings, then ALL multiple day events clutter the calendar (including "all day" events).
Addition: this is especially important for events in other time zones. For example, an event runs until 00.15 my time. I open the event to see start/end times and the event time is shown in a different time zone. This means I must either (a) change event end time to an earlier & incorrect time, save the event, so I can see start time on my calendar or (b) convert the event time to my time using an online tool. Both quite inconvenient.
