If an event is set to recur more than once (one instance being today) and the
list of events at the top of the main window is set to show only Todays events
then the problem occurs. Basically before the event time everything is alright:
the event is shown along with it's time. After the event has occured it should
be removed from the list of Todays events but instead the time of the event is
changed to the next occurance which maynot be Today

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an event and set it to recur say every Monday at 10am till 10:05am
2. Set the list of events to display to Today and the computers time to 9:55 on
a Monday.
3. The event will now be displayed as occuring at 10am.
4. Wait for the time to go past 10:05am the list of todays events will now
change still showing this event but with the time set to a week in the future


Actual Results:  
The time of the event is shown as next week

Expected Results:  
The event should be removed from the list as it isn't occuring again today

What happens for me is that it's still showing up in the list.
That's nothing to do with it being recurring though.

I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to be or not though.
Maybe it's supposed to remain in that list until the day is over, after all, the
event did occur today.

What is strange IMHO though, is that my event (with endtime about 5min ago), is
still showing up if I choose 'all future events' in the event list. If that's
not how it supposed to be I guess filing or another bug is needed.

Remaining problem:
Past events, which occured today, should be removed from the unifinder when 'Events in the next X days'/'Today's Events'/'Future Events' is selected.

Maybe this is only makes sense for the 'Future Events' list.

Bug 255492 covers the problem for 'Future Events' list.

The bugspam monkeys have struck again. They are currently chewing on default assignees for Calendar. Be afraid for your sanity!

Unifinder is also available in Lightning now.
