I got error and have problem to delete event that was created via mouse (drag & drop)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. press mouse (10:00), move down and release (13:00)
   -> you have event with default title: New event
2. change end time, catch bottom line of event: 13:00 (you have just released this line) and move up to 12:00, release
3. right now you can not delete this event and change end time any more
Actual Results:  
JS console:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [calIIcalProperty.propertyName]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Damian/Pulpit/sunbird/components/calICSCalendar.js :: anonymous :: line 395"  data: no]
Source File: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Damian/Pulpit/sunbird/components/calICSCalendar.js
Line: 395


Tips: this event is probably not stored property because when you restart Sunbird you will not see this event any more

The above steps work for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060730 Calendar/0.3a2+.

Please ensure that you don't unzipped/installed Sunbird over a previous version resp. removed all program files before doing that.

Please retest with a clean profile and provide all additional steps that are required to repeat the problem. (Maybe it only happens with special profile settings.)

Ok, there is something wrong with data or calendar. Just reproduced with latest build

more steps:
0.5: create new profile
0.6: delete calendar home
0.7: import webcal://ical.mac.com/zakosmala/Polish32Holidays.ics
and follow steps like before

today I imported remote calendar and has few problems with it, many errors in JS console (not always reproduceable) so this area has some minor bugs :(

First you delete calendar and then you try to import events into it? That makes no sense and I don't see how that is related to the problem.

However, I deleted the calendar and creating new event does nothing because there is no calendar. (That makes sense.) Also there is no error messages in console.

no, I use this link as a remote calendar (double click on calendar tab and use wizard "Create new calendar")

Attachment: profile with wrong data format

there is something wrong with data which I imported, have a look
1. select from unifinder all items
2. press del to delete all events
   -> some of them was deleted, but in fact they are only invisible and JS console prints error like above
after restart Sunbird (sometimes it crashs!) all events exists

so it might be problem with importing very old events

this happens only when second calendar (Polish holidays) is selected - so add first step to focus second calendar and then try to create event

this bug is really complicated ;/

You mean webcal://ical.mac.com/zakosmala/Polish32Holidays.ics?
Have you tried it using http://ical.mac.com/zakosmala/Polish32Holidays.ics url?
Is the server configured to support writing per http?
Do you have write access to that public calendar?

Probably not but it took me hours to recognize where exacly is the problem. My calendars panel is closed so I did not see that second calendar is selected and that it might be reason.
I would expect simply alert with information that saving is impossible (or was failed) and some reason why it happend instead of exception in JS.
Even if I had rights but was offline the effect would be similar

The original bug report is invalid.

Please file followup bugs, if you see other issues, that you think should be remediated.
