Changing the start day-of-week of a weekly event results in event that recurs on
dates based on BOTH the old start day and the new start day, should only be
based on the new start day.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create weekly event that starts on 1st saturday of month and recurs weekly.
2. View in month view.
3. Edit event start date so it starts on sunday.
4. view in month view.

Actual Results:  
Initial date moved from saturday to sunday.
But in later weeks, it appears on BOTH saturday and sunday.

Expected Results:  
In later weeks it should also have been moved from saturday to sunday.

Problem is in event dialog recurrence: for weekly recurrence, day-of-week of
start date is automatically selected, but if start date is changed, new
day-of-week is selected but old day-of-week is not deselected.

Workaround: go to recurrence page and manually deselect the old day-of-week.

This bug, as described, doesn't exist since the replacement of the old event dialog.  Changing the start day of an event has no impact on the recurrence days anymore.  It's possible to morph this bug into 'Changing the start day of a weekly repeating event should change the recurrence pattern.' Is that what's desired here?

No response regarding morphing. 

-> INVALID.

Feel free to open a new bug with jminta's new title.
