Description Graham Cobb 2006-06-21 01:43:56 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

When kOrganizer exports to iCal, it incorrectly quotes tab characters (for example in the DESCRIPTION) as "\t".  

This is not one of the standard iCalendar quoting rules and it causes Opensync to report an error when synchronising the event.

Tabs should be placed in the iCal file without translation.

Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created 
korganizer-devel mailing list.

Comment 2 Sergio Martins 2009-02-03 03:35:51 UTC

Still true in KDE-4.2 with libical-0.33

Comment 3 Sergio Martins 2009-03-03 21:17:50 UTC

I see spaces (not quoted) instead of quoted tabs now (libical-0.42).

Comment 4 Allen Winter 2009-07-03 02:59:31 UTC

This is a bug in the libical library.
