Re: 'Weird triage and sharing bugs to focus on' Redux

One observation is we have been noticing these odd cases in case of  
shared calendars that are being updated by multiple people and  
rendered thru multiple states thru edit/update. Yesterday, I  
mentioned to Philippe that I was seeing some odd behaviour with the  
QA calendar as well where some of the old PTOs and meetings were  
popping into the NOW section. I haven't had a chance to completely  
investigate that and figure out if they are basically dups of bugs  
you have filed below or different ones. I will look into that shortly.

IOW, I think the scenario that will help nail these cases is getting  
more people to use and update shared calendars. I am all for doing a  
test session for this but generally speaking I haven't been able to  
trigger these cases on demand. I happen to encounter them  
occasionally with QA calendar.

One idea is perhaps we could come up with some sharing scenarios what  
require edit/update and have multiple people run thru those scenarios  
in a single shared calendar during the test session. I can work with  
you on coming up with those cases.

In the meantime I will investigate the "popping into NOW" cases in  
the QA calendar.
