After creation of a recurring event starting today (but in the past), recurring daily for 5 days with alarms on I get the alarm popup. Pressing Dismiss is not changing anything (popup stays open). Pressing Dismiss all works.
After pressing Dismiss all, the first event is detached from the other recurring events.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an event for today in the past, repeating daily for 5 days. Alarms On
2.Press Dismiss
3.Press Dismiss all

Actual Results:  
Pressing Dismiss does not seem to work
Pressing Dismiss all works.
Afterwards the today-event is detached from the other recurring events.

Expected Results:  
Pressing Dismiss should work.
Double-clicking the first entry should ask me if I want to edit This occurence or all.

If more than one of the recurring events is in the past, pressing Dismiss makes this alarm dialog grow and grow...

I don't see it as detached. I can change the title on the 2nd recurrence and the original event's title changes to match. What am I missing?

I can confirm the "Dismiss" button that does nothing on

You are right, but try to change the title for first reccurence: It is only changed for this.

I did some more testing:

1. if you press "Dismiss all" without pressing "Dismiss" before, there is no detaching.

2. if you change the title of the detached (first) recurrence it is only changed for this recurrence. Now changing the title of the second recurrence (press "All occurrences") attaches the first recurrence again (title is changed accordingly and double clicking the first event pops up the recurrence dialog again).

Further testing revealed that events don't need to be created in the past. As soon as an alarm pops up, the bug occurs.

I can't reproduce this with either the storage or ics provider. Is this worksforme?

It is even worksforthereporter. Works since 20060901. It might have been bug 348716 or bug 298358 that fixed this bug.

Tested with Sunbird nightlies on Windows and local storage.
