Switched all the event types off, but the calendar still shows everything

What you are seeing

I switched all the event types off, but the calendar still shows everything.


#Why it happens

With no event types selected, the filter is not applied at all, so all sources are drawn.


#What to do

Leave at least one event type selected. To show only one kind of date, select exactly that one.


#Settings involved

The calendar configuration dialog on the Events tab, headed Event Types, with switches for In-calendar Events, Native page dates and Capable Events, all turned on.
The Events tab carries one switch per event type, covering in-calendar events, Confluence's own date macros and Capable Event macros.

Setting

Where

What it does

Base Timezone

Calendar Configuration panel

"Set the timezone by which events are co-ordinated. Note that events are shown in the timezone of the user viewing the calendar." In practice it pre-fills the event create/edit form only. The grid always draws events in

In-calendar Events

Calendar Configuration panel → Events

"Show in-calendar user made events". The events people create and save inside this calendar.

Native page dates

Calendar Configuration panel → Events

"Show events from date macros on pages". Confluence's own date chips scraped off the calendar's source pages.

A 3-character event title is rejected on save. The same 4-character floor is why .ics import skips very short titles.
