If you open the calendar AFTER the alarm time, it still will not notify unless you go to add another alarm. Then it will notify. I try to get around this problem by telling Mozilla Browser to always launch the Calendar first, but this is a band-aid for now. I would rate this problem pretty high if we want normal users to start using this calendar over others. Also, I think this is important for basic operation of a calendar app. An alarm should notify via getting a user's attention in some way, regardless of what app they are working in or whether they have covered-up the calendar app window. Thanx. hope this helps. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set an alarm 2.Close calendar window 3.Wait for alarm time Actual Results: Note that no notification happens Expected Results: Pop-up of some sort should come to front notifying of the alarm. I did do a search for this bug since I thought I saw it somewhere mentioned. But I could not find it on Summary searches with "alarm" and "notification". So I thought I would add it.
BTW, I am using Mozilla Calendar 2003061213-cal. I think there was some confusion before about which build was for 1.3 and 1.4(betas). Please let me know if entry of this bug was helpful or not. I do not want to add to the work. Thanx
