Comment 22 for bug 655405

I have been having a similar problem in lucid, reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716433

...and upgraded to Maverick in the hope that this would go away - it doesn't and is now even worse...
if I attempt to open the calendar it either crashes without any warnings or just hangs and has to be forced to close.

My calendar ics file is utf-8/windows and I even deleted my original - still same problem with new file.

There seem to be lots of similar issues with calendar in evolution. This is going to drive me back to windows in order to use outlook.
