Bug Description

I tried editing a single occurrence of a recurring event, changing the start time from 18:00 to 19:00.
Clicking OK on the edit view didn't close it, and day view didn't reflect the change, though clicking on the event did display the new date andtime.
After a while, though, the changes were reverted back to the old date and time.
As a workaround editing all following events seems to work, so it should be possible to edit an occurence and then all the following ones the other way.

Thanks,
TM

there is a confusing behavior when erasing a single
event in a series:
First I have to edit the single event by selecting it in the dialog
(one/all).
Then deleting it asks the same question again (one/all).
Making inconsistent answers (first one, then all) causes the whole series
to be deleted (which seems quite intuitive).

Update:
It seems when editing recurring events, 'single event' modifies nothing apart from the event view that started the editing. 'following events ' modifies the whole series, before and after.
Deleting a single event in a series seems to work, though, so it's possible to delete a single event and make a replacement.
Likewise, it may be possible to terminate a series and start another for permanent changes.

We've made lots of fixes regarding recurrence since ota10, and I no longer can reproduce this using rc-proposed and calendar from trunk. Will mark it fixed released when we release ota11.

Just to be clear, the intended behavior and the behavior I am seeing is the following:
1) create recurring event
2) edit one of the recurring events
 a) if press "edit this", changes made will only be made on this event
 b) if press "edit series" changes made will reflect on all the events in the series (including before and after)

Recurring events seem fixed also, at least it worked when I tried it last
Tuesday.
I just tried it though, there is a confusing behavior when erasing a single
event in a series:

(one/all).
Then deleting it asks the same question again (one/all).
