703226 - Cannot dismiss or snooze recurring alarms without errors

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 701659

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Description

[Neil Bird]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
Build ID: 20111104165243

Steps to reproduce:

Linux (Fedora 14 *and* CentOS 5) Thunderbid 8.0 w/ Lightning 1.0, using Google calendar.  This is brand new since updating (first at home on Fedora, then a week or so later at work on Cent OS, both times the problem started after the update).

Tried to snooze a yearly reminder. Then tried to dismiss it.

Finally closed it with window's 'X' button.


Actual results:

Dialogue stayed up when using its own buttons.

After closing via 'X', I get a prompt saying that the event has changed on the server in the meantime, do I want to reload or overwrite (as if the inital snooze/dismiss has worked its way to the server, but the window itself hasn't been closed)?

It seems to not matter which answer I give;  if I snooze, I (so far) do get the repeat reminder.


Expected results:

Dialogue closed after selection appropriate option.


I cannot repeat this with *new* events (I just created a daily repeated alarm [via Google], and it's behaving properly).  I shall edit & resave the ones that are currently causing problems (via Google) and see if the issue goes away.

OK, managed to re-create it with a new yearly repeated all-day event.  The dialogue doesn't go away when expected, and then when force-closed gives:

This item has recently been changed on the server. Submitting your changes will overwrite the changes made on the server.

Note that I *didn't( make changes on the server, I still think that those changes were Lightning's previous attempt to save.

Was the reminder set more than 6 hours before? If so this is likely Bug 701659
