Comment # 7 on bug 954161 from Robin Roevens

I'm seeing this too

It appears both on all my google calendars as well as the company's exchange
server (owa connected using Gnome online accounts).. So it doesn't seem to be
google or calendar-type specific.

I see this problem on all my LEAP installed computers/laptops. The Tumbleweed
version of Evolution doesn't seem to have this problem however.

I also narrowed down what type of events causes this:
All recurring events that are defined as "repeat x days/weeks/months/years for
_X instances_" are repeated forever by evolution instead of only for the
defined X instances.
When the events are defined to repeat until a certain date, they do correctly
stop repeating after that certain date.

So it seems that Evolution as it is provided by LEAP 42.1 ignores the "for X
instances" setting of recurring events and treads them as "repeating for
eternity"-type recurring events.
