1135613 - Can't import ICS file into Lightning/Thunderbird when stored on disk

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 334657

(Calendar :: Import and Export, defect)

Description

[Jorg K (CEST = GMT+2)]

Attachment: Event that can't be imported from disk

The attached ICS file cannot be imported via "Events and Tasks > Import ..." using TB 36 beta 1 with Lightning 3.8b1.

No error message is received, but nothing happens.

The strange thing is that it can be imported from an e-mail attachment.

I'm getting this error:

Timestamp: 2/23/15, 12:19:18 PM
Error: NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_INPUT: Component returned failure code: 0x8050000e (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_INPUT) [nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter.convertFromByteArray]

Line: 168

Looks like there is an encoding issue, likely with the apostrophe. I am not sure why it works from the e-mail attachment. Possibly we could duplicate this against bug 334657?
