Description Nicolas L. 2008-01-27 03:10:07 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Mandriva bugreport:   http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=37188
Description of problem:
In the attached calendar there is a recurrent event scheduled on the 6.2.
KOrganizer shows it on the 5.2. instead. Attached screenshots show the
offending event in both KOrganizer and Sunbird. 

Sunbird, Google Calendar and Apple iCal all show the event to be on the 6th, as
intended, but KOrganizer shows it on the 5th. The original calendar was
generated by Apple iCal.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5.8-6mdv

How reproducible:
Load the attached file into KOrganizer.

Currently the OOD&P/JC event doesn't show in korganizer at all. I'll reattach the crosslinked .ics file to this bug in case the link vanishes.

This is the offending file. Check February 5th/6th 2008 for the OOD&J/PC event
Comment 5 Sergio Martins 2008-12-29 00:44:04 UTC
That file has events with duplicate UIDs.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445
4.8.4.7 Unique Identifier

"The UID itself MUST be a globally unique identifier. The generator of the identifier MUST guarantee that the identifier is unique."

If you change the UID it works.

i just asked our user if this bug is valid for him.

Comment 7 Nicolas L. 2009-12-10 22:44:26 UTC
From the user :

"
Well, Korganizer on 2010 doesn't display the event at all now. I am not sure
what is better - not displaying it at all or displaying it on a wrong date.

The error is certainly not reported.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of korganizer (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 9 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:39:06 UTC
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
