Additional info

Please note this is the third calendar bug issue I open since I updated NextCloud to version 25.0.2 and calendar to version 4.2.0.
Those bugs are a serious problem for who uses NextCloud to organize their professional life as I do.
I tried downgrading NC and Calendar, but i got a message saing "Downgrade is not supported".
I would suggest extremly accurate testing before issuing new versions.
Thank you
