iCal Alerts/Notifications not working for items with same start & end time
For some repeating items like medication, I use iCal/Calendar entries with the same start & end time (e.g., 15:00 / 15:00), and have an alert set for 0 minutes before.
For me, these appear more clearly on my daily calendar, v. having an all-day event with an alert at the due time.
On Mountain Lion, the alerts are no longer working, either as 'default', 'message' or 'message with sound'. Instead, I see a brief flash on the right hand side of the menu bar.
BUT, if I change the end date to something later (!5:00 start, !5:10 end), all is fine again.
I've tried all sorts of combinations, and it does appear to be only the events with same start and end time that aren't working. A bug? Anyone else see this? Anyone else use the same technique for certain daily events, or have a better idea?
Thanks!
