263665 - Reoccuring task marked complete don't reappear as uncomplete next date

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155889

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, enhancement)

The logic of having reoccuring tasks seems flawed if tasks don't repeat
themselves on the task list.  As it currently works if you mark a reoccuring
task as complete it stays in complete status unless you manually mark it back to
uncomplete.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a task that you'd do weekly (or example "Cut the Lawn")
2. Mark the that task as complete
3. Wait until the next scheduled reoccuring of that task

Actual Results:  
The task remains in a complete status

Expected Results:  
If reoccuring task is marked complete, reset it's status to uncomplete on the
next reoccurance date

I realize there's probably two dozen different ways to handle this and that
there are other bugs posted similiar to this one.   As it stands now though the
task list has very limited functionality and needs refinement IMO.

Calendar uses RFC2445 as its data model (so it can be sure to be able to
interchange data with other calendar programs), and currently it is not clear
how it can handle completion info for separate instances of a recurring task.
See bug 155889, esp. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155889#c6

If you have another calendar program that allows you to have different
completion info for different recurrences, how does it export that info to
iCalendar (ics files)?
