Dragging repeating event makes other occurrences disappear

Prerequisites

  • [ ] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

Describe the bug

When I drag and drop a recurring event, its recurrence data seems to disappear. The recurrences disappear from the UI, although some information can be recovered using the Edit dialog.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new recurring event.
  2. Drag and drop one of the event cells in the grid view. You can drop on any day, including the original one.
  3. All occurrences other than the one you dragged will disappear.
  4. Open the dialog for that event. It will still have recurrence data.
  5. Save the event. All following occurrences will reappear in the UI, and all occurrences before the selected cell will not.

After doing this process, last time I tried I dragged it around a few more times and more bugs started to show up. Eventually, the event got into an uneditable state. Haven't figured out how to reproduce that though. Hopefully it's the same issue that causes the above behavior.

Expected behavior

Only the selected occurrence will be affected, and all recurrence data will be retained.

Looking at it more closely, it seems like the behavior where only the following events are recreated is unrelated. I'll open a separate issue for that.

The issue here seems to be that the code that recreates all the events on edit doesn't recreate all of the related objects in the recurring event. Somehow this behavior only shows up when it's called by the drag event.

I also noticed this bug, but not only with dragging but also after changing the name of the event. All recurring events then disappear.

Hmm, that doesn't happen on my end. I only tried a few times though. Does it happen every time for you, or only in certain situations?

I'll have to look into it. There are a lot of bugs in Maya involving repeating events, which makes it harder to find clear patterns.

Thanks. Agreed, repeating events are a little wacky, but if you could help track down any issues that would be amazing!
