Comment 4 David Bate 2019-10-20 16:45:33 UTC 
This occurs with either the local calendar or Gmail calendar, on kubuntu or KDE-Neon, multiple reinstalls and devices.

Happening to me too. Debian Buster. What can I do to help?
Comment 7 Vladislav Vorobiev 2019-12-04 23:59:44 UTC 
It's the same here, debian Buster.
Debian sid also...
Comment 8 Vladislav Vorobiev 2019-12-05 00:00:17 UTC 
Calendar and Tasks are unusable.
Comment 9 Borden 2019-12-08 20:39:43 UTC 
I think the problem has to do with time zones. I went into my System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Date & Time, changed the time zone and then changed it back. The problem seems to be better now.

I think somewhere along the pike KOrg couldn't read the time zone values properly, so it would mess up calculating event times and then default to 00:00 - 23:59.

See if this works for you.
Comment 10 Borden 2019-12-12 02:13:07 UTC 
I stand corrected. The problem's back. Fix didn't work.
Comment 11 David Bate 2019-12-12 02:23:21 UTC 
What Region do you have set?  

Make sure the time format is set to United States (en_us).  My region is set for Canada, and the problem comes up, but if i set the time format to US, it works.

I think some of the language/region files are not configured right.  Canada and US has the same time format and zones, but yet it has issues with the Canadian time setting.
Comment 12 Borden 2019-12-16 15:10:48 UTC 
That's the fix. The Canadian locale is broken and the error messages useless.
Comment 13 Brad Lavenham 2019-12-18 10:37:42 UTC 
I can confirm this. I'm in Canada and ran into this bug yesterday on Fedora 31. To determine if the problem is with KDE itself or just Fedora's build, I installed Kubuntu on another computer and tried again. Exact same issue. However, if I run the following in Konsole:

  LANG=en_US.UTF-8; korganizer

then I can set up events and assign the desired time to them.

Could you clarify which error messages you refer to?

Fix KTimeComboBox for locales with unusual characters in formats

KTimeComboBox creates an edit mask by replacing the AM/PM indicator in
a formatted time with 'a' ("optional alphabetic") mask characters.
This does not work for locales that use punctuation in the indicator, such
as the current en_CA format "9:00 A.M.".  This patch uses mask character
'x' ("optional non-blank").

The current fr_CA time format contains an embedded 'h':  "9 h 00".  'h' is
an edit mask character ("optional hexadecimal digit"), so the generated
mask rejects properly-formatted times.  This patch escapes all characters
that are not supposed to be mask characters.
