Re: [Evolution] Task List hosed - how to delete?

[chenthill <pchenthill novell com>]

If u want to delete many items, u can select the tasks by clicking on
the tasks icon which appears under the column "Type" and use the delete
button (from key board), then it deletes all the tasks. But yes there is
a problem if u try to delete, selecting many items from some other
column such as summary, start date etc., then it tries to delete the
contents of the selected column for the last selected task item.
