Now, all but the changed event disapears when editing. Trying to disable and enable recurring again causes freeze.
evolution-data-server appears to die when this happens.

Did it again.

1. Changed time of recurring event
It stops displaying all but the edited event.
2. Disabled recurring, and enabled it again.
Evo-data-server crashes, evo freezes.
