There is no bug. Well, maybe. 

The reason it refuses to turn it into a real event is because the requested event doesn't have a description. 

I guess the bug is that Rainer was allowed to submit it without a description. Events have to have a description. In Rainer's case if he doesn't have a description he should use the short description as the description instead. 

The short term solution is to reject the event and explain to Rainer to cut the short description and put it into the long description and submit again. 

I'm going to work on making it impossible to submit a request without a description.

Sounds like the right answer.

I'm genuinely curious how Rainer managed to save the requested event without a description. I can't leave it empty. Even if I just enter an single whitespace. Really have no idea how this could have happened.

Hi Rainer, 

We had some trouble processing your New Hires video. The problem was that you had managed to enter a "Short description" but no "Description". See the screenshot in comment 3 which visually explains that we can't figure how the heck you managed to do that. 

Do you have any idea how you managed to save it without enter a description. Was there some strange edit that might explain this?

I can't remember either but I think I made a "period" .... that's what I usually do if there is a description needed and I don't have one.

I tried putting a period too but that didn't work in terms of reproducing it. 

Perhaps some day we'll get a more clear case to reproduce and we can reopen this bug that day.
