Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new event in a Caldav. Add a title, brief description, check "all day event", click "save and close".
2. Reload remote calendars.
3. Edit event, uncheck "all day event", click "save and close".
4. Reload remote calendars.


Actual results:

Event disappears.


Expected results:

Event should not disappear
This could be related to bug 727755 but that one has a more complex procedure and existed in previous versions of lightning.
I should mention that I'm using Provider for Google Calendar.

I'm not quite clear on a couple of points:

Your initial report stated that this was CalDAV format. Comment 2 indicates that you are using GData Provider. So, could you please clarify:

1. How many remote calendars you have.
2. What type(s) they are/it is.
3. Does the problem occur on all calendars or just CalDAV.
4. Is the CalDAV calendar a Google calendar.
5. If creating the Google calendar (assuming there is one) as a Google calendar and *not* CalDAV results in the same behavior.
6. If disabling (a different) Google calendar and uninstalling (or disabling GData Provider) makes any difference in the behavior you are seeing with the CalDAV calendar cited above.
7. Are you caching any calendar data (see properties for the affected calendar(s), to see if the option is checked).

I am only using iCal and Google calendars, and I do not see this behavior with either format. I have six calendars defined, out of which, one is accessed via GData Provider, one read/write via iCal (on my own Communigate Pro server), and the rest are read-only Google calendars.
This is a CommunigatePro error. I have already reported to CommunigatePro and they have confirmed it about half a year ago.

The reporter did not say that he was using Communigate Pro. I do not see this with *my* Communigate Pro calendar (5.1.16).
I have the same error:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730608

I am using Thunderbird with the Addon "Provider für Google Kalender 0.9". My calendars are on google, under two different accounts. One account has two calendars, the other only one.

The bug is only with two of the three calendars, which are both from the same google account. The third calender from the other google account seems unaffected. Maybe it's relevant that the "buggy" google account is registered with an external email address, as the working account is registered with a googlemail.com address.
I have five remote calendars, all through Google.
I'm using the Provider for Google Calendar 0.9.
This happens on all my Google calendars.
I am not caching any of my calendars.
I do not have/use Communigate.

This is probably a duplicate: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730608

This probably belongs in GData.

one more bit of information, maybe it's useful:

I have three calendars, two of them show this bug. These two calendars have an URL like:

https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/[weirs_chars]%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

the working one has:

https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/[Mailaddress]%40googlemail.com/public/basic.ics

I tested with new calendars having either a googlemail-address or an external one, but that made no difference.

hope that helps...
Problem still exists in 11.0.1.
Version: Lightning 1.2 → Lightning 1.3
Still exists in Lightning 1.3.
Most probably a duplicate of bug 735619 that ought to be fixed with Lightning 1.4 for Thunderbird 12.

I think https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727755 is a duplicate.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730233 is a dupe, but provides the missing link. The event isn't disappearing, it's being moved to the default Google calendar when edited. Since I (and apparently a few others) do not use their default Google calendar, we only saw the events disappear.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735619 is a dupe and appears to be resolved for 1.4.
