Description of problem:
When I enable calendar for my exchange config in the gnome network accounts, 
switching to the calendar view in evolution will freeze it completely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-ews-3.10.4-1.fc20.x86_64
evolution-data-server-3.10.4-2.fc20.x86_64
evolution-3.10.4-2.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always if the exchange calendar is enabled.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start evolution
2. Press the Calendar button
3.

Actual results:
Shows the calendar screen and then freezes completely

Expected results:


Additional info:
In evolution preferences the account is listed with type ews, so I assume this 
is the package I should report on.

This used to work. Even in early F20 days, I think. But has been broken
for quite some time now.

Even after disabling the exchange calendar I still get the gnome popups
warning me about meetings from the exchange calendar (possibly because I
have not restarted anything but evolution). I guess I can live with
keeping the calendar enabled so I get the popups and only check my
calendar on my phone for now...

I also have a google account defined in gnome, with the calendar
enabled. That calendar works fine in evolution. I guess that also points
at evolution-ews as the problem.

Thanks for a bug report. I agree with a blame to evolution-ews, on the first 
look at least. To be sure, it'll be good to see what evolution does and why it 
is frozen. Could you do the following, please?
a) install debuginfo packages for evolution-data-server, evolution and
   evolution-ews; make sure the package version matches version of the binary
   package (rpm -qa | grep evolution | sort)
b) reproduce the issue
c) while the evolution is frozen, invoke these two commands from a terminal:
   $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution` &>evo-bt.txt
   $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution-calendar-factory` \
     &>ecf-bt.txt

d) please review the content of evo-bt.txt and ecf-bt.txt for any private
   information it can contain, like email addresses, server addresses and
   passwords (I usually search for "pass" (quotes for clarity only) at least).

Once you've the file content sanitized, upload it here, please, and I'll
check where the evolution is stuck. I would guess it's waiting for a
response from the evolution-calendar-factory process, which might be
busy with an update of the EWS calendar.

It would be also good to restart the machine before starting this
reproducer, just to make sure all updated binaries will be running as
expected.

Thanks for the update. Interestingly, the evolution-calendar-factory is
idle, it doesn't do anything at the moment of the backtrace capture. The
evolution backtrace, on the other hand, shows that there was received a
notification about added components to a view (that's when the calendar
finds an event which satisfies view's criteria), where the calendar
wanted to marks days with events in the left-bottom calendar. This got
stuck on the timezone request, the evolution asked for a timezone
definition the calendar factory. The interesting part here is that the
timezone ID seems to be garbled, it shows value " 1".

I just tested this and I can reproduce this too.

I realized, after further investigation, that this was an issue in
evolution-data-server, which had some wrong assumption. More can be seen
in an upstream commit [1] for 3.11.92+.

I'll create an update for Fedora 20 with the patch included. By the way,
the UI will eventually recover, once it timeouts on the D-Bus call, but
you may get into the freeze quite often, when searching through the
calendar.

I have another problem that I have not reported. Perhaps it's related.
When composing a new email (reply, group reply as well) while the
exchange account is selected it takes a looooong time before the compose
window pops up. But not if I select one of my other email accounts. Not
nearly as long as this calendar hang. I have let evolution just hang in
the calendar view for quite long, and I have never seen it recover.
Perhaps because there are many calendar entries and it has to time out
on each one?

Looking forward to the patched package. Will let you know how it works.

Should I somehow give karma to the package on bodhi? I am not certain how to do 
that.

You said later the package helped, thus it's good, but only in case you
face it again, the same as in comment #2 applies here, it means, while
the evolution is frozen, get the backtrace of it, to see what it does.

Right. My test event had 3 broken/unknown timezones, and the client
asked for each of it, and each call time-outed after about 30 seconds
(per one call). Thus I agree, if you have multiple events suffering of
this, and each has about 2-3 unknown timezones, then you get to along
pending period.

Right, it would be nice to add the karma there (see comment #10 for a link).
I think you might need an account there, thus if it's not a problem, then 
please leave karma there, thus the update gets to stable quicker. Thanks.
