events in shared calendar not visible to shared user ... except for recurring events!

[alexishuxley]

Steps to reproduce

I fully realise that this is going to be a difficult-to-reproduce!

1. calendar-owner: share a calendar with another nextcloud user
2. another-nextcloud-user: reload calendar web page and verify that calendar-owner's calendar is listed on the left and that recurring events in calendar-owner's calendar are shown
3. calendar-owner: add a new one-off event (whole day or time-to-time, it makes no differerence)
4. another-nextcloud-user: reload calendar web page and check if the one-off event is visible

Expected behavior

event is visible

Actual behaviour

event is not visible

not sure how to do this, or, given that the problem shows up on a variety of clients, whether it makes sense to include it.

Additional info

This bug has been here for a long time and has survived several upgrades and even a complete new installation (with transfer of user data). If you need more information, then please let know how recipes/files/etc.

Hi @alexishuxley

I had no luck reproducing your issue.

Created a new event in the shared calendar and as expected both view only and editors can see the event.

Shared with a "can edit user"

Shared with a "view only user"

Are you sure you are selecting the correct calendar when you are creating the event?

Absolutely.
