When creating a new event from a month view there is a problem with the
recurrence option. When we select for instance to repeat the event at some
weekdays, the event is repeated to almost all weekdays with no logic, from start
date to end date.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open sunbird
2. Select month view
3. Select New Event icon
4. Give new name
5. Select End date
6. Go to Recurrence Tab
7. Select Repeat Every -> 1 Week
8. Select a few weeks days (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday...)
9. Press Ok

Actual Results:  
The event is added to some other weekdays not selected 

Expected Results:  
The event should be added only to weekdays selected

The start date and end date should specify when the *first* occurrence starts
and ends.

Maybe you set the end date to be several weeks after the start date?  If so,
then you are seeing one or more long multiday event.  Set the end date to be the
end of the *first* occurrence.

In the recurrence tab, you can specify a "repeat until" date to specify when the
recurrence should stop.

Does it work for you now?  If it works now, please resolve this bug as invalid.
 Thanks.
