Description Roman Fietze 2006-10-24 07:52:56 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I start kontact, configured so it shows the korganizer items appointments and to-dos.

I switch to the calendar.

I enter e.g. a new event with a start time of Oct 26, 15:00, an end time of Oct 26, 16:00, and set the recurrence to weekly, every two weeks on thursday.

When I store that event and check it in the calendar window everything is fine.

Now I switch to kontct's summary view an I see these items starting with Oct 26, Nov 09, Nov 23 and so on. That's fine.

I switch back to calendar view and exit kontact.

When I restart kontact again, this entry has changed. It now has the following settings: Start ***Nov 23***, 15:00, End Oct 26, 16:00, recurrence every second thursday.

This can also happen, when I switch forth and back between calendar and summary view and add other events, eventually with the requirement to add that new event at the same day or before the recurring event.

If you need more tests or information, please feel free to ask.

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

This bug also occurs with the 3.5.5 on Kubuntu Edgy 6.10.

It is very serious, as it causes loss of recurring appointments. There is no real way to restore them; adding them again does not work as the bug will simply eat it up again. The easiest way to work around this is to create a series of non recurring events in place of all recurring events, and this is hardly ideal.

SVN commit 601750 by bram:

Fix commit 587417 by winterz to handle recurring events properly in the summary widget.
Data was written to events, which is evil (bug 136221).

Now, create a separate list to prevent implicit sharing.
