User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20130107 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130107042018

Steps to reproduce:

Got an invitation by e-mail (attachment: invite.ics) an did right-click and selected Convert To -> Event


Actual results:

- The title from the e-mail and not the title from the invitation is used for the new event.
- The presented location in the e-mail isn't imported in the new event
- The date and the time are both wrong
- The description is right, but extended (it's nice to read, but not the description of the inviter)


Expected results:

Import with right values

You cannot convert an invitation to an event. Lightning offers a feature to create an event based on an email message although it is mislabeled as convert to event. This is what you did.

To import an iCalendar file e.g. received via email attachment use the Events & Tasks > Import feature. Or use the Accept and Decline button that will be displayed in the email message header if you calendar supports invitations and if the email message was send as an invitation.

PS: Please don't misuse the Crash Signature field for non crash signature information.
