170316 - last character of some event titles missing when title is in Hebrew

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Russell Levy]

I will attach an event that has the problem. Not only does it not show the last
character, but it seems also if the event was displayed, it is written back to
the hard drive without the last letter.

Attachment: Test case with last character missing

Import this event to the calendar, and click "Yes" when it asks you if you want
to open the event. If you look at the file in a text editor, you will see that
the event title is וישלח. However, the edit event
dialog is missing the last letter, and only shows וישל.
The same problem happens even if you add in the last letter, close and reopen
the calendar--the last letter is deleted.

I don't know what the problem is yet, but I'll confirm this bug.

I experience this problem whenever a title ends with German Umlaut ß,ü,ä,ö,...
This happens when a calendar is read and initialized (from local file after
start or from webdav calendar location). If the title entry is new it will be
written to file or published to webdav correctly. If automatic publishing is
activated for a webdav calendar, the last title character is immediately lost in
calendar application and lost in the remote calendar after the next publishing
event. Other Umlaut characters in the title string remain intact on all
procedures. The only fix for a user is to end the title string with "." or
something else. Tested with Mozilla Calendar 2004111214-cal on Windows XP.

For me it's five characters in the event field all the time

However, I see something else strange, the start time is 23 nov 2002 all day,
and the end time is 1 jan 1970 00:59.
But if I click to edit the event it looks like this:
From [2002-11-23] [1:00](box greyed out) [v] All Day
To   [1969-12-31] [0:59](box greyed out)
