[O] Re: Recurring items don't always show up in timeline

[Mark S]

Here's a version of the calendar I'm using. There are two date ranges as  
well as regular dates. It might be that recurring events that occur on  
days that are inside of a date range do not show up. On mine, "Bath for  
dog" doesn't show up on April 14th, for instance which happens to be  
inside of a date range. The Pay Cell Phone item does not occur 90 days  
later (about 4/15) which would also be inside of a date range. BUT it also  
does not occur on or near 7/15, which is not inside of a date range.
The "Do this every 3 months" item does not show up in June, even though it  
would not fall inside of a date range.
