I copied a recurring event. That I pasted it two times, on the same day, and made them recurring too. Then the event disappeared. I checked the data in the *.ics file, and found the next three lines under the event:

RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=/mozilla.org/20050126_1/America/Belize:
 20061106T170000
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=WE

I found out that there should only be one of these. So I deleted the RECURRENCE-ID tag, and saved the file. That solved the problem.

Conclusion: in certain copy-paste-recur actions the program places the two mentioned tags in the same event, and that makes that the program does not show the event anymore.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make recurring event
2.Copy, and paste on other day. Make recurring.
3.Close program. After opening, the event is gone.

Actual Results:  
In the database on the same computer, I cannot check how the sourcecode of the date is. 

Expected Results:  
The recurring event does not appear.

It should appair ;-)

Suggestion for solving the problem: Copy should not contain RECURRENCE-ID tag.

Suggestion for solving the problem: Copy should not contain RECURRENCE-ID tag.
And making an event recurring should delete the RECURRENCE-ID tag.
