361999 - SunBird cannot read event it has just created

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Provider: ICS/WebDAV, defect)

Description

[Jean-Dominique Delyon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

My calendar is an ics file located on icalx.com.
I have created events with non ascii characters in the description.
The event is correctly created and the remote calendar is correctly updated.
But, when the calendar is read again (for instance upon program reentry), an exception occurs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a remote calendar (.ics),
2. Import the .ics file attached,
3. Exit the application and reenter

Actual Results:  
Exception Error

Expected Results:  
First, an exception error should not occur, even with incorrect data: A warning message should be issued and the data (description, probably) should be interpreted with a smaller character set.
Also, and more important, SunBird should not generate incorrect data. During event entry, it should issue a warning message to avoid incorrect characters.

It seems that this bug comes from non ascii characters in the files.

Sorry but, for me, only SunBird 0.3 is released on mozilla.org.
Where can I find an official (preferably French) version ?

Having followed the link for the Nightly Build versions, I have found an English version (Calendar 0.4a1).
Tested with this one.
I finally had to destroy both calendars from icalx to obtain something correct.
I mean:
-> I had 2 calendars with problems,
-> I delete the second one and recreate it
   => I receive the error for the first one and sometimes for the second one.
-> I delete both and recreate the second one
   => The sencond one is OK.
   -> Now I can recretae the second one.

Error was reported at line 245.
.
Can we close the call? It is up to you.
