Description Daniel Holbach 2005-10-10 11:34:16 UTC 
Version details: 2.4.1
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu

When I edit a recurring calendar item (say, to change the end time), save it,
and click "Apply to All Occurances" OR "Apply to This Occurance" the item seems
to disappear. What's really happening is the sunset date for the recurrance is
getting reset to 2005-09-15. (Beware the ides of September.) Further
investigation shows that it resets the sunset date for the recurrance to two
weeks into the future.

Here's the iCalendar for the event after changing the end time from 18:15 to 18:30:
Notice that it doesn't even properly change the end time. The original sunset
date for the recurrance was 2005-12-09 (last day of class at UT Austin).

I'm using Evolution 2.4.1 on Breezy/i686 on a Thinkpad T40p with the extra
"Evolution 2.2" plugins installed. I haven't tried this without the plugins
installed.


(Note from Ubuntu maintainers: The plugins are actually those of 2.4.1 too, it's
a mistake in the description that will be fixed.)

I do not see this on evo 2.4.1 
Can the reporter please get back to us on what 
type of calendar this occurs on ?
I'm not able to replicate it on personal, groupwise
type of calendars. thanx in advance.

This is a local, personal calendar. I should note that I upgraded from 2.2.
