1815849 - TB 102.7.2 Calendar "convert to event" creates an event in CalDAV but doesn't show on screen

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1776462

(Calendar :: Provider: CalDAV, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Verify that calendar is synced to proper CalDAV calendar on Synology NAS.
Right click an email message
choose "Convert to > Event"
Save

Actual results:

In TB 102.6.1 on W10 the event never appears.
In TB 68.12.1 on a separate W7 computer, the events do appear.
In the Synology Calendar web view, the events also appear.
Hitting "Synchronize" button does nothing.

Expected results:

The new events should have appeared in TB 102 right away. I believe that this may also affect meeting invites that are accepted. They show up in TB 68 and on my phone using DAVx, but don't appear in TB 102.
Events that are created from New do appear, just not events created another way.

Thanks for letting us know. Wfm on TB 102.7.1 (64-bit), Win10 against a CalDAV Google Calendar, but maybe Synology NAS plays a role. We do have several bugs on record, check the See also: field of bug 1776462.

Reporter:

• Which version have you actually seen this on? Summary says 102.7.2, but comment 0 says 102.6.1?
• Does this happen in ≡ > Help > Troubleshoot Mode…?
• Anything in Tools > Developer Tools > Error Console (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+J)?
• Is this a duplicate of bug 1776462 or one of its See also friends?

Hi Thomas,
-Sorry, the actual version is 102.7.2.
- Yes, I can confirm that this happens in Troubleshoot Mode
- Error Console:  After some iterations, it appears that any message that contains slashes (like in a URL) has the problem.  Other simpler messages seem to be fine. Here is the Error Console output:

Hi Thomas,

• Sorry, the actual version is 102.7.2.
• Yes, I can confirm that this happens in Troubleshoot Mode
• Error Console: After some testing iterations, it appears that any message that contains slashes (like in a URL) has the problem. Other simpler messages seem to be fine. Note that the Event is created and does appear properly on the Synology Calendar web app (using Synology DS218+ running DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 6, and Calendar 2.4.5-0930), as well as a Windows 7 machine running TB 68.12.1, and Pixel 2 with Android 11 using DAVx5. The event just never shows up in TB 102.7.2.

Here is the Error Console output:

Element.releaseCapture() is deprecated. Use Element.releasePointerCapture() instead. For more help https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Element/releasePointerCapture menupopup.js:169:13

I can confirm that I have the same problem,
Convert to Event does not appear in originating TB client Install 102.9.1 (64-bit) on W10
Event gets created in Synology Caldav server but does not reflect in Thunderbird
However, If edited subsequently with another caldav client then the event is synced back to the originat TB Client
Thank you!
