Description Henning Mersch 2007-01-13 14:52:02 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This might be two bugs, or one and a FRE...dont know:

My calendars are sotred locally in ICS files.
A year ago I entered a entry for our weekly group meetings.
It was just fine until some weeks ago, it disapeared!

Now I find this entry within my ICS file:
   1.
      BEGIN:VEVENT
   2.
      DTSTAMP:20070109T213712Z
   3.
      ORGANIZER;CN=Reminder:MAILTO:xxxx
   4.
      CREATED:20061102T203743Z
   5.
      UID:KOrganizer-956586470.1019
   6.
      SEQUENCE:1
   7.
      LAST-MODIFIED:20070109T213712Z
   8.
      SUMMARY:Groupmeeting
   9.
      CLASS:PUBLIC
  10.
      PRIORITY:5
  11.
      RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=TU
  12.
      DTSTART:20070206T083000Z
  13.
      DTEND:20060606T083000Z
  14.
      TRANSP:OPAQUE
  15.
      END:VEVENT 

Which causes 2 questions:
1) Why has this meeting now a length of approx. minus 8month ?
2) Why isnt it shown in my calendar anymore?

I think 2) is caused by 1) ;-)
But even if this negative length exists, better show it to the user thus she could
correct.

If I copy DTSTART to DTEND, starting form Feb07 the meetings are shown again.

Thanks && Best regards - Henning

I would like to mention, that sometimes also entries get completely lost.
After createn they apprear in the GUI. After restart they are gone.
Seems to be just new entries, which are not written (even if theu should be) to the ics file. 
This happens every several week, so its quite hard to give details, analyse or debug. :-/

Since I cant give any detail about this, I hope its related to this.
Comment 2 Sergio Martins 2009-03-09 03:30:16 UTC 
Can you reproduce it with KDE4.2?
Comment 3 Henning Mersch 2009-03-13 19:31:56 UTC 
I created an ics file calendar (I switched to other format since this reporting this bug) and tried this week (since you asked), but cant reproduce. :-)

but, as I stated before: It was never deterministical anyway :-/
Hopefully its gone!

In the past I could reproduce some situations that created bogus dates, and this is probably the cause, but all these were fixed in KDE4, so I'll mark this bug as fixed.
