Bug Description

Version - 11.04 64-bit
Not sure what package Time Menu is in, though it may be an Evolution bug

What I did - Open Time Menu, select a date and press "New Event"
What I expected - Evolution "New Event" dialog would open, already set to date selected on Time Menu Calender
What happened - Evolution calender opened, no "New event" dialog and the calender was not even set to the date I had picked

This is important because the calender allows you to pick a date before you click "New Event" (with the default date set to today). If the "New Event" function only opens Evolution calender in a generic way, the selectable date calender becomes useless and so the whole thing seems unprofessional.

Is this different behavior than it has been before?

I don't know - but as I said, having selectable dates on the calender and then having the "New event" button just generically opening up any date makes the whole calender pointless, and looks unprofessional because the UI makes you think it will do one thing but in fact it does something else.

Whether it was intended to do what it looks like it should, I don't know. All I know is that it doesn't do it and in this case it makes the selectable dates on the calender look stupid.
