Calendar becomes unusable when setting an end date for an appointment

I've used the Thunderbird calendar for appointments for years and today had my first issue when I tried to set an end date for a recurring appointment. Once I edited the appointment (all occurrences) all appointments in my calendar were covered by a colored grid and were unreadable. Fortunately I had backed up the calendar a couple of days ago so I was able to restore the calendar by restoring the calendar data file from my backup. I attempted to set an end date for the appointment again but the calendar became corrupted once again. I am attaching a screenshot of what the calendar looked like after trying to set an end date for an appointment. I assume this is a recently introduced bug in the program, if not is there another workaround besides retrieving a backup for the calendar data file?

I believe the fault here is my own. I think that instead of entering the end by date in the Until (B): box I entered it in the End (U): box which caused the event to stretch out over the entire calendar. Dumb mistake but if someone else makes it perhaps this post will be of help.
