Let's mark this as wanted0.8+ for now. This may be elevated to blocking status later in the game, but not now.

The underlying problem is basically the same as the one we already encountered in bug 375390 (see discussion starting from comment #40 for an in-depth explanation of the problem). We didn't face the problem for the normal events in the multi-day view until the category boxes entered the game.
