Details

Assume you want to enter a recurring event. This will happen every Tuesday from
2PM to 4PM, for the next 5 weeks.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Double-click on this week's Tuesday (in the monthly view), (this will bring
up the add event dialog. !! This will also make jump the CPU usage to around
80%, will file another bug on this
2. Give it a title, and modify the start and end time to 2PM and 4PM.
3. Click on the recurence tab
4. Check "repeat every" (and keep the default "1 week")
5. Select the radio button "Until" (instead of "forever") At this stage, you
should see an error message in red below, saying that "Your repeat time ends
before your end time" (note that the OK button is now disabled because of that)
6. Click on the date picker and choose the Tuesday in 5 weeks
7. Note that the error message didn't go away and the OK button is still grayed
out. Will file another bug on this. Workaround: select the radio button
"forever" and then select "until" again. The date you set beforehand was remembered.
8.Click OK

Correct result: the 5 next tuesdays have the event

Now proceed to trigger the bug
9. Edit the event you just defined
10. Go to the recurrence tab

Result: The "Until date" was changed back to the first tuesday's date

If you hit OK, only the first Tuesday has the event, not the other 4.
