Description

Let's take an event starting at Monday 20:00 and ending at exactly midnight. Currently, that event would show on the calendar both for Monday and Tuesday.

Some other calendar apps do what I think is the right thing: show the event only for Monday. In fact, I often set the end time to midnight for events I know will span for a few more hours, just so they don't clutter my agenda for the next day.

I can work on this as soon as I have time (which may not happen soon). If you've got some pointers on how to do that... :)

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the calendar display with an event starting Monday at 20:00 and ending exactly at midnight, then trace the event-to-day inclusion logic; done means the event appears on Monday but not Tuesday.
