Subscribed calendar event overlapping issue on MacBook Pro

On macOS Sequoia 15.2, I have an 8-hour event on my iCloud calendar and a 1-hour event from a subscribed gmail calendar, both in the calendar app's one-day display view. The 8-hour event completely overlaps the 1-hour event, and I can't find a way to bring the 1-hour event forward, so it can be fully seen or edited. I don't see this issue on iPhone iOS 18.2.1, which allows the overlapped event to be tapped on and brought forward; it appears to happen only on macOS 15.2.

Ha! I found it! If I Command+click on the obscured event, it brings it forward - and it can be double-clicked to edit if desired at that point. So, on macOS, I guess it's necessary to utilize the Command key with the click operation to bring an overlapped event forward.

I don't know why it's doing it - it could be because it's in a subscribed calendar that you can't edit on the Mac - although I've just tried that on my Mac and I was able to edit both events.

On my Mac I click outside either event so I can see them both then double click the short event and it edits

You can fix it temporarily by editing the "front" event and either temporarily changing the time so it doesn't overlap. If you can't edit the time for some reason then you can put it in a different calendar, then hide that calendar (untick it) and the front event should disappear so you can edit it.

Interesting! If I click on "View > Show Calendar List" and then uncheck my primary iCloud calendar, I can see the gmail calendar event fine and even double-click on it to edit. Then, if I check mark my primary iCloud calendar in the calendar list, click on "View > Hide Calendar List", the 8-hour overlapped event comes back, but it's below the 1-hour gmail calendar event - so I can see both. However, if I click on the 8-hour event, the 1-hour event is obscured and unreachable again! As mentioned, this doesn't happen on the iPhone calendar, both events remain visible and can be tapped on to bring them forward. Thanks for the suggestions.
