[Design] [cosmo][Bug8130] What should detail view display when you switch collections

[Priscilla Chung]

Moving discussion on the list to confirm: https:// 
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8130

*Issue*
Currently in Cosmo 0.6, when we switch collections the detail view  
displays the last event of the week even if that falls outside of the  
viewable calendar area.

This should be consistent with what Chandler displays which I believe  
is first of today's events. There are number of fall back rules as  
well. Mimi, has the entire list since we have already incorporated  
that for Chandler.

In Chandler, when there are no overlays, we persist the 'last  
selected event' in each calendar.

So if you have event A selected in Home and event B selected in Work,  
when you return to Home, event A is in the detail view...even if the  
user has navigated to a different week and can't see event A in the  
calendar pane.

With overlays, it gets more complicated because we always try to  
'keep the same event selected' as you traverse collections in the  
sidebar...but we don't have to worry about that in Cosmo for a while.

So I tried this on Chandler_osx_0.7alpha5.dev-r13755-checkpoint20070402
1. click on an event on my collection
2. if I move the week forward or back, the event detail I had clicked  
on is still displayed in the event detail
3. If I select another collection, the event detail blanks.

Is the correct behavior?

*Proposal*
For Preview, to blank out the Detail View when switching collections.  
Or a *nice to have* is to display information about the collection  
when switching.

+ Title of the collection
+ If it's a subscription the URL/Ticket
+ Date of when it was last updated
