Bug description

I got a notification for a reminder I set on a event in calendar A, but the notification said it is in calendar B. I double checked and the event is definitely in calendar A and not B.

Steps to reproduce

Not tested, but this should work?

  1. Create calendar A
  2. Create calendar B
  3. Create event in calendar A, set reminder
  4. Wait for reminder notification
Expected behavior

The notification should show the correct calendar the event is from.

Start by reproducing the reported scenario: create calendars A and B, add a reminder to an event in A, and inspect the notification after it fires. Trace how the reminder notification determines the event's calendar, then verify that the notification names calendar A rather than calendar B.
