Research direction

Read apps/web/components/issues/issue-layouts/calendar/issue-block.tsx, focusing on the ControlLink and PopoverTrigger props described in the issue. Check how mobile and temporary work items are handled, then verify that saved items open on tap while temporary items stay disabled and hover preview is off on mobile. The issue reports regression checks, but does not name a test file.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Summary

In the mobile web app, the Calendar view renders its work-item list, but tapping a saved work item does nothing. This is reproducible from the current preview source and does not depend on API permissions or loading state.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Plane on an iPhone / Android browser (or use a mobile touch viewport).
  2. Open a project → Work items → Calendar.
  3. Select a day containing at least one saved work item.
  4. Tap the work item in the mobile Calendar list.

Actual: The item does not open.

Expected: Tapping a saved work item opens its detail, as the existing Calendar click handler intends. Temporary/unsaved work items must remain disabled.

Root cause

In apps/web/components/issues/issue-layouts/calendar/issue-block.tsx, the ControlLink around every task has:

disabled={!!issue?.tempId || isMobile}

When isMobile is true, ControlLink renders a non-interactive wrapper instead of an anchor, so onClick={() => handleIssuePeekOverview(issue)} cannot fire. The mobile Calendar list uses this exact component.

Minimal upstream fix

 <PopoverTrigger
-  openOnHover
+  openOnHover={!isMobile}
   delay={100}
   render={
     <ControlLink
       ...
-      disabled={!!issue?.tempId || isMobile}
+      disabled={!!issue?.tempId}
       ...

This removes the unconditional mobile click-disable while keeping temporary work items disabled. It also avoids a hover-only preview on touch devices. Importantly, it leaves the existing mobile navigation policy unchanged; whether mobile Calendar should open an overlay instead of its standalone detail route is a separate UX proposal, #9990.

Regression verification

  • A touch-enabled browser fixture validated that a saved Calendar work item receives the click and an unsaved temporary item remains disabled.
  • The fix has been exercised successfully on a self-hosted mobile installation.
  • The two-line source change passes formatting and static lint checks in the matching Plane 1.4.2 frontend.
  • Direct code inspection confirms the original isMobile-based ControlLink disabling remains in the upstream preview branch as of October 12, 2026.

Scope

Only the Calendar work-item card should change. No API, permissions, Board/List/Home behavior, shared redirection helper, or database changes are needed.

This issue includes a minimal patch for reviewers; a dedicated PR should contain only that scoped source fix and its regression evidence.
