Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 362650

(Calendar :: Provider: GData, defect)

Description

[Wim Bos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071008 Firefox/2.0.0.8
Build Identifier: 0.3.1

I use Lightning 0.7 & Provider for Google Calendar 0.3.1 and all of my calendars are defined as network Google Calendars (.ics).

Whenever I create a new (or update an existing) repeating event (eg. every 1st of November) in Lightning, the repetition gets lost (both in Lightning & no repitition information can be found in the Google calendar webversion).

Whenever I create a new (or update an existing) repeating event using the Google calendar webversion, the event gets correctly repeated in both the webversion & in Lightning.

Is this a limitation of Google calendars, is this a bug / missing feature in Provider for Google Calendar or is this a bug / missing feature in Lightning?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new event in a 'Provider for Google Calendar' calendar and specify a certain repetition schedule (eg. every 1st of November)
2. Save and close your event
3. Verify that the next repetition events are not there in you calendar
Actual Results:  
Repetition information is lost

Expected Results:  
Event gets properly repeated

When creating a repeating event using Google Calendar website, this event correctly repeats in Lightning.
