	Hi,
it's okay, I believe what you describe is what you get, no need for a
video. As it happens when you save the event, it means the server
returned a meeting, while it was supposed to return a bare event. I
think it could happen due to the server adding ORGANIZER property, but
maybe it's something else.

I suppose the calendar is CalDAV, then please stop Evolution, then run
from a terminal:

   flatpak kill org.gnome.Evolution
   CALDAV_DEBUG=1 flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

which will print raw communication between the calendar factory and all
the CalDAV servers.

Reproduce the problem in Evolution, just write something unique into
the summary of the event, say "xxxyyyzzz". The search the log for that
unique string. it should be there at least twice, once when evolution
did PUT, and after it when it did GET. I guess the PUT will not have
ORGANIZER nor ATTENDEE properties, while the GET will have it. The GET
means what the server returned.

Be careful what you'll share, please, the log is really with private
information, thus if not sure what the text in it means, then rather
not share it (like some encoded values, which can be passwords or
credentials). I'm interested only in the VEVENT data of the log, for
this test component. Replacing mail addresses and server addresses is a
natural thing too.

	Thanks and bye,
