Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
-create a calendar event that recurs weekly. Evolution defaults to 1
occurrence, which is a separate issue that I feel should be addressed (the
point of a "recurring event" is that it happens more than once).
-save event. See that it's not recurring on the calendar.
-open event, click "Recurrence" and change "for 1 occurrence" to "forever".
-Close, Save.
-a window pops up asking "You are modifying a recurring event. What would you
like to modify?" Select "All Instances" and "OK". Evolution immediately greys
out and must be force quit.
After this, Evolution will start up fine in email mode, but when you
switch to Calendar mode, Evolution locks up again and must be force quit
each time you access the Calendar. The workaround is to go into home
directory .evolution/calendar/local/system and delete the calendar.ics
file. This erases your calendar so be sure you have a backup before
continuing. You can re-import your calendar and start again.
Note: If you correctly set up the calendar event the first time (ie,
weekly, recurring forever) without going back and editing the event, it
will be created properly with no lock ups.
