ical ******* me off

Hello,

Since upgrading to Yosemite on a late 2010 macbook pro, I am unable to put a time in the ACTUAL TITLE OF THE EVENT in iCal. Since I work long days, I used to put it as an "all day" event with my call time in the event name. Now I cannot put any numeric value or even spell a number (i.e. nine am). Suggestions to resolve or just chalk it up to Apple knowing what I want but, it's not what I want?

Bob
