I have this problem now and again too. I'm one of those that presses
snooze a lot and typically leave evolution open for long periods of time
like 2 weeks or more. When I restart it sometimes after this, I get

spend time finding the pattern to repeat it to log a bug. I see you have
the same problem.

Tom.
