Build Identifier: Lightning 1.0b1

An event that occurs every 30 days is missing for the 5th month after the event starts.  I've reproduced this on Lightning 1.0b1 on both Linux and Windows.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a recurring event that repeats every 30 days, starting on 2/1/2010 for example.

Note that months 1-4 have this recurring event and months 6 onward do, too, but it is missing in the 5th month.

I cannot reproduce your issue using the vague steps provided above. Please provide *detailed* steps that can be used reproduce the issue. In addition you could export the event into the iCalendar format and attach it here.

OK.  I attempted to recreate and had problems, too.  I went and looked at the ics file of the event with the original problem and noticed it somehow had an EXDATE entry in it that happened to be 5 months after the start of the event.  Oddly, if I change the event start date the EXDATE also moves (is that expected behavior?).  And without looking into the ics file, there's no way for me to tell that there are any EXDATEs for that event.  So maybe the bug should be changed to reflect that problem.  That there's no way to see EXDATEs for an event and there's no way to remove them if, for example, "just this occurrence" of a recurring even was deleted (short of hand editing the ics file).
