Want my iCal info drawer back!!

Hi,
just frustrated that they cut the ical info drawer. I know that it might be not very hand on small screens because it decreased the size of the actual calender - but with the new iCal I can´t see any info about events and todos - I first to doubleclick every event to get info - and then the bubble pops up. I´m on a two monitor setup, and when I doubleclick a todo on the right sight of the screen the bubble is hanging between the gaps of the monitors and I have to move it to be able to read. When I close it and doubleclick again it is back to the odd position...grrr...
not so happy now with this evolution - a preference of either bubble or drawer would have been cool - also the possiblity to see the bubble only with one click...
Best regards - Christoph

I'm also rather frustrated that in the midst of a major OS update Apple programmers have chosen to remove features here and there. You'd think they'd have learned after the iMovie debacle that lots of people are using these features and don't want to see them taken away.
I really liked having the info drawer. It was so easy to just click on an item and I'd see what notes I'd put with it, what time it's running till, and so on. There isn't even an icon to show if there are notes with an event. Now I have to go through extra steps to get the same information. Does this in any way make it a better program? It's really slowing me down. What were they thinking? I hope this is just an oversight that will be fixed very soon.

Leopard has a real problem without iCal info drawer. One can write/read so much more on the tiger version. You only have to click on the event to read the notes. So clear and so easy.
I find iCal in Leopard so unpleasant to use! Please fix this daily function for us and hopefully very soon.

Apple has a specific area for complaints.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
I think they reserve the forum for questions.
I agree, the iCal notes is a feature that will be missed.

I´m glad that I´m not the only one who is missing the drawer and I´m just hoping that Apple can realize that this way is not an evolution to make it better. I already sent some feedback through the above mentioned link - thanks for that! Everyone should do it!

I'm in the camp of having used the Info Drawer daily.
I really find the new iCal to be very slow and clunky from a usability standpoint because of this as I rely heavily on the Notes field in calendar events.
This is a big miss and it's really disappointing they took this out. Hopefully with enough feedback they'll quickly reconsider.

But how do we know if this is a bug or a deleted feature? To me, this is a bug report, not a complaint. When functionality is diminished instead of enhanced, it generally indicates a bug. Of course we could get all Microsoft and just call it an "undocumented system enhancement".

I agree with the other posts here. Removing the Info Drawer is a serious retrograde step and the new pop-up window is vastly inferior. I have sent feedback to Apple on this issue. Plus what's with having to click an edit button every time you want to change something? Did Apple hire an ex-windows programmer to write the new iCal?

I have to add my voice to call for the return (I've also submitted feedback). It's an absolute disgrace that a really useful feature such as this has been removed, so much for the 300 new features, make that 299 as they removed a really good one!
I use the info sidebar many, many times a day to add notes and info to items. One of the most useful forms is to add all my flight info and booking references when I add my air travel. When I sync this with my phone I have all the info to hand. Now it is very difficult to see this info and take many clicks to input it.
If you use the info side bar please submit the feedback and tell Apple what a complete ****-up they have made here.

The new ical is completely inane! Please bring back the info window. Also I used the month view, and was able to set time of appointments, now I can not.

OK. I found a fix. I simply can't live without my info window in ical. For those who need this function like I do here is a workaround. If you have another mac with Tiger on it copy the old ical and the CALCore.framework located in the system/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ directory of your Tiger mac. Install them on your leopard system. Now the warning.. if you sync with iphone it may remove your ical contents. Please make sure and do both a database backup ical--->file--->backup database first, and also export the calenders as you will need to import them if this happens. So if you have a work catigory/calender select it in the ical sidebar then click on "file" then Export.  Now you can use the OLD ical with the NEW Leopard!
