Calendar Web Part buttons +Add missing / like frozen

Dear all,

on a SharePoint site (SP 2016 on-prem) we have one calendar which is accesible also as a Web Part on the site and is wokring o.k.

If we add a second calendar, the calendar itself works o.k., but if we add this second calendar also as a Web Part on this site, there are no "+Add"-buttons visible and we cannot click into the Calendar Web Part, seems as if it were frozen. If we open the second Calendar itself instead of trying to use via Web Part, everything works, trhe "+Add" buttons appear and the Calendar is clickable. Via "Edit Page" you can also see that everything works, the "+Add" buttons appear and the Web Part is configured for "Full toolbar". After clicking on "Save" in "Edit Page"-mode and returning to the normal view, the problem still occurs.

Any idea? The problem only occurs on one site within the site collection, on the other sites we can add multiple calendars and use them also via Web Part. I suppose, users misconfigured something in the default view for calendars, but I can't find the error....

Best,
Matthias

    Hi @Matthias68 ,

    This issue cannot be reproduced from my end. Please check as following to narrow down the issue:

    1. Test readding the calendar web parts on a new page.
    2. Test using a new calendar list.
    3. Try cleaning up browser cache & cookies and test again.

    Hi @Matthias68 ,

    When you look at a calendar web part, the behavior depends on which view you have selected. The All Events view, Current Events view, and Summary View all provide a list of upcoming events, followed by an Add New Event link. The Calendar View displays a calendar, and you can add events to specific days via an Add link that appears when you hover over a specific day.

    Hi @Matthias68 ,

    Due to the restriction in community, I suggest you submit a ticket with Microsoft so that professionals can help troubleshoot further.
