Bug Description

After the start time of an event, the event disappears from the indicator.

Scenario 1: My phone sounds a notification for an event. I look at my phone 10 seconds later, and there is no indication as to what the notification was for (not saving the notification in the messaging indicator is probably a separate bug in itself). Looking at the indicator shows no current events, the next event is hours/days away.

Scenario 2: I have no notification for an event, and want to check what I should be doing now. The indicator shows no event for several hours, when in fact I should be at an event that started 5 minutes ago.

Scenario 3: I am heading over to a job interview, but have forgotten where it is. I open the indicator so I can quickly click the event and get the location details from it. Oh, but I'm a minute or two late, and the event is not displayed anymore.

Proposed solution: Remove event at the event's end time and set the event's time to 'Now' when it is past the start time.
