Setting to put multi-day events *with times* in the all-day section (timeGrid views)

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 169

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Event Details (JSON):
{"title": "Event 2", "start": "1257166800", "end": "1257778800", "allDay":
false, "url": "/events/2009/november/event_0001.html"} 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the above event to display as separate blocks from 13:00 to 15:00
every day, from 02/11/2009 to 09/11/2009 in both week and day view, and as
a solid block (a line) from 02/11/2009 to 09/11/2009 in the month view.

The month view displays it correctly.

The week and day view have the same problem: 
Instead, the event is shown as a continous solid block starting at 13:00
02/11/2009 ending 15:00 on 09/11/2009.

Possibly, a new attribute (eg "multi-day") should be introduced to allow
for rendering such kind of events?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Calendar version 1.4.1, Windows XP Firefox 3.5 and IE 7

Please provide any additional information below.

I too would like an option for events spanning multiple days to appear in the All Day section, as they do in Google Calendar. Is there any hope for this soon?

nestor.milyaev,

i know what you mean. these long events that have times can sometimes span all the
way from 12am to 12pm. i decided do to is this way b/c the spec was more
straightforward ("all-day" means it goes in the all-day section). but i can see why
people would want this. will include a feature in an upcoming release that tackles
this. thanks

ps-
Google Calendar and iCalendar each handle this differently. guess theres no
consensus, which is why making a setting would be a good idea
