(Calendar :: Dialogs, defect)

Description

[Ian Eales]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.141 Safari/537.36 Edg/87.0.664.75

Steps to reproduce:

Create new event, add Event Category. Create 2nd new event. Destination Calendar is a google calendar. Same behaviors observed in Local calendar.

Actual results:

Newly created Event Category not available in Create Event window or in Calendar Options. Added Category in Event options and change Category color changes color for both items. Restart TB [78.6.1] and Event Category is not available.

After restart, google calendar was not visible and required Mask / UnMask operation to show. Items were verified in google calendar prior to TB exit.

Expected results:

Added Event category should appear in Event Options.

(New Event Record in local.sqlite had cal_properties TRANSP and CATEGORIES, neither of which are easily displayable a they are BLOB:
7115406e-4605-4946-a319-6aaa4ba5fa49, TRANSP, "plain text document, 6 byte(s)"
7115406e-4605-4946-a319-6aaa4ba5fa49, CATEGORIES, "plain text document, 5 byte(s)"
TRANSP showed T and VALUE showd B [for Bogus, len = 5] in another SQLite viewer

Confirmed. Creating through the preferences works.
