I Can confirm. I think this should block the release since it means dataloss.

This seems to be caused by the following code place: <http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/calendar/prototypes/wcap/sun-calendar-event-dialog.js&rev=1.42&mark=211-217#203>

Upon cancel the new description is replaced with the old description before saving.

Attachment: set back to new value

After passing the old description to the text field we need to set it back to the new description. Otherwise onCommandSave() reads and stored the old value.

I was kicking myself for not catching this when I initially wrote this. But, yes, this is absolutely correct -> r=mickey. Thanks, Stefan.
