Calendar macOS Ventura crashes on entering location field contents

After upgrading to Ventura, when I enter or paste text into the Location field for a new or existing Calendar entry, the app crashes every time. The calendar on which the entry is added or updated is via CalDav using Synology Calendar. A crash does not occur under identical steps when using a different calendar such Home on my Mac.

iMac 27″, macOS 13.0

I always used Windows at work and convinced myself 15 years ago to try Mac at home. I wish I never did. I've always felt like I was giving too much up on the software side. And then you stay with Apple simply because you adapt to it. Now we see this kind of crap where Apple doesn't care about software support. But should we be surprised? Take a look at the latest Microsoft Outlook versus the related Apple apps that haven't been updated in over a decade? Geez, I might try parallels and play around with Windows to see why I'm still using Apple.

After 3 days, the problem returned on my Macbook when entering an event location. I've since tried using a demo of BusyCal which looks like a good calendar app. It does not crash when entering locations and successfully syncs back to Synology calendar, however it does randomly crash while running in the background. Console shows that it crashed without presenting a dialog 4x today. It seems as though Apple has broken iCal sync which is impacting all calendar apps.


Which version of Synology DSM is everyone using. I'm on 6.2.4 Update 7 and am wondering if an update to 7.2 would offer any relief.
