Currently if you make a modification to an event in a recurring series
and choose "all future events" from the recurrence change dialog the
recurrence series will be split into two series with changes to one
series not affecting the other series. To me this is somewhat confusing
and I thought it was worth posting to the list as others may be confused
by this as well.
Currently Chandler works this way by design and iCal and other calendars
tend to work this way as well.
Example of series splitting behavior:
1) create a daily recurring event on Sunday with no end date and a title
of 'A'
2) change Tuesdays title to 'B' and choose 'all future events'
3) change Mondays title to 'C' and choose 'all future events'
4) notice that only Monday has the title of 'C' even though 'all future
events' was chosen. This is because step (2) 'split' the recurrence
series into two with Sunday and Monday in one series with an end date
equal to Mondays date, and Tuesday forward in another never-ending
series. Because of this split changes to Sunday and Monday will no
longer affect the Tuesday forward series.
5) click on Sunday and Monday and look at the detail view 'ends' field
and verify that the recurrence series now has an end date equal to
Mondays date
6) click on events on Tuesday or latter and verify that the detail view
'ends' field shows no end date
