Hello,

1. Set work week to start at 9:00am and end at 6:00pm
2. Add some appointments at 7-8am
3. Switch to the calendar
4. Scroll up to see the appointments
5. Switch to the mailbox
6. Switch to the calendar

Result: calendar view is reset so it starts at 9:00 and early appointments
are not visible.

I use outlook for all my meetings and appointments and this behavior really
annoys me. For example, I missed the meeting today at 8:00am because
yesterday evening I looked at the calendar for today and it didn't show any
meetings in the morning. Today I came to work and realized that 8:00am
meeting was just hidden by outlook because the calendar view reset itself
(again!) to show only meetings after 9:00am. This is just stupid and
potentially dangerous to anyone who relies on outlook to schedule
appointments.

It’s clearly a usability issue. Just imagine if Microsoft Word reset its
scroll position every time you switch to a different document!

Version of Outlook? The to-do bar will sow all upcoming appointments
regardless of your official start of workday.

If you routinely make appointments for before the start of your workday,
maybe you should adjust the work time in Outlook to reflect it?

If your window is large enough and the time scale small enough, Outlook will
display the hours before your official start.

It's Outlook 2007. The problem is that I don't make such appointments often
enough to adjust work time settings. And I use a view without a to-do bar and
I assume it's a supported configuration otherwise you shouldn't allow user to
hide it.

One simple question: Is there any rational reason for resetting the scroll
position in outlook?

Thank you,
Oleg

The Day/Week/Month view is more complicated than message lists - remembering
the position of the scroll bar is more involved than just remembering which
message was selected last.
