User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041114

I created a new calendar, then a new event for this calendar (a 2-day event).
Then I wanted to do a change in this event, but a double-click on it made
Mozilla take more and more CPU times and after several seconds, Mozilla crashed:
segmentation fault according to the core dump.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new calendar from the menu in the Calendars tab.
2. Add a new event, choosing this newly created calendar.
3. Double-click on this event.
Actual Results:  
Mozilla takes CPU time and crashes.

Expected Results:  
The dialog box to edit the event should have appeared.

Reporter:
   I realize it's been awhile, but could you see if you could reproduce this bug
using the latest calendar builds?  There were some CPU issues similar to the
ones you're describing, but they only happened around the day daylight savings
time starts/ends.  Therefore, if you can reproduce, please include the date/time
of the event you're trying to create.  If you're not experiencing this anymore,
please mark this bug resolved.

I switched to Firefox on the ppc machine (and couldn't try Sunbird yet). The
problem doesn't occur on another Linux machine with Firefox + Calendar extension.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
