ToDoList (AbstractSpoon) Support

The issue: The next Start Date and Remaining Time for random repeating Events calculate too far into the future. These Events also will not disappear when "Complete" is selected in the "Task Reminder" dialogue box.

Example: An Event which should calculate to recur on the following day will calculate to a random date in the future, anywhere from two days ahead to months ahead. [This behavior is not exclusive to Events that should recur on the following day, it can be any Event, regardless of the next occurrence.]

The problem: These random Events need to be manually corrected. Sometimes this fixes the issue, sometimes it does not, and the same error will repeat. Recreating the Event, either on the same tasklist or a different one, sometimes corrects the problem, and sometimes not.

This issue occurs only with a small percentage of Events, not every one. Which Events will be affected is impossible to predict. None of the affected Events are constructed in a manner unique to themselves, they are composed similarly to Events that never have this issue.

A workaround for this issue does not seem evident. Help with this would be welcome.

I make extensive use of recurring tasks and have never observed this in any TDL version I have used, so I don't have much to offer in terms of a solution.

And I don't want to even try to speak for @abstr because he is the master of TDL and has far more expertise than I ever will. But my guess is that it would be difficult for him to be of much help to you here with the way you presented the issue. There is very little to go on. I think more documentation is needed to make the troubleshooting process efficient.

You might want to start by naming the complete specific version of TDL you are using (8.2.x) and posting a screenshot of the recurrence settings (and other attributes) related to one of the recurring tasks that had an issue. Not sure if this will help or not, but it may be the best shot you have at it since you report that it is a rare occurrence.
