I booted a live Ub Mate 22.10, installed synaptic, used that to install gnome-calendar, created an entry for tomorrow. Then I double-clicked
the entry which provided an edit function which edit has a slider on the
R and which bottom-most edit item is 'Delete Event' which performed as expected.

At first I couldn't figure out how to open the event for editing; but
the 2nd/next time I created an event, it opened for editing w/ just a
single click.

Default Ub Mate also has Evolution, which is a significantly different
beast than gnome-calendar, as it is more of a PIM which includes a calendar.

I looked around for a comparison between the evolution calendar and the gnome-calendar, but that turns out to be more complicated than I expected.

Let's say the gnome-calendar is simpler in its purpose.

Thank You very much indeed for your kind explanation.
This edit window here is - for reasons unknown to me - neither
expandable in height nor in width, so I missed the possibility
to scroll down :-(.

Best regards,

Which Ubuntu and which desktop (and which gnome-calendar) are you using?

Ubuntu is 5.4.0~132.148~18.04.1-generic 5.4.212
Calendar is (snap) 3.30.0

I installed ubuntu 20, but found it disturbing. So I kept 18.04.
As better a program is, as more desperate seem the efforts
to make it worse. Like eg the snap bussiness.
I'm pondering about a migration to Mint.

Regards.
H.

I just booted a live Mint 21 Cinnamon, employed its default Synaptic
to find that its gnome-calendar was installed by default; its version
41.2+mint1+vanessa which is maintained by the Debian Gnome
maintainers.

I was puzzled by the discrepancy between versions 3.30 vs 41.2.

Drilling around a little bit, I found that the version numbering changed between 3.38.2 and 40.0. Your older Ub uses the older 3 system; my
newer Mint uses the newer 4x.x system.

I like Mint better than Ubuntu. I like Cinnamon DE better than Gnome.
I like that Mint eschews snap, and it is 'ok' w/ me that its default
includes Flatpak, (But) I prefer conventional repositories and .ppa
package management over the alternative snap/flat systems.

I just booted a live Mint 21 Cinnamon, employed its default Synaptic to
find that its gnome-calendar was installed by default; its version 41.2+mint1+vanessa which is maintained by the Debian Gnome maintainers.

I opened the calendar, added an event for tomorrow, and then a single
click opened the event's window to access Edit which showed the R slider
and the event delete button at the bottom of edit.

Very healthy, logical, 'scientific' explanation; well done, not 'whimsical'.

I wouldn't have tho't there would be *THAT* many good reasons :-)

Some how it reminds me of when EA Poe wrote an instructive essay about
'how' he scientifically (as opposed to creatively artistically) wrote
The Raven. I found myself wondering if he /really/ did it that way, or
if he just *said* (built a 'story' around how) he did it that way :-)

After all, he was quite a story teller :-)
