This is what initially happened to me when I tried to set a weekly custom
event on Mondays and Wednesdays. It completely messed up the starting date,
and I had to edit the event three times before I got it to show properly. I'd
drop Apple accessibility a note and also ask a sighted person if they run into
the same problem.
