Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Jorg K (CEST = GMT+2)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 GTB6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I tried to import a CSV. See enclosed. Bug 560036 will tell you, that this doesn't work. Sadly it also leaves the system in a broken state.

When I switch to another day, the preview plane doesn't update any more (see attachment calbug1).

When I then grab the event in the preview place and try to modify it, I get an error (calbug2).

When I delete the event, it gets deleted from the top summary, but remains in the preview place (calbug3).

When I restart TV, the deleted event is back again ... and everything else starts to work again.

Reproducible: Always

The view hang after error is pretty common, see e.g. Bug 520705 Comment 9.
