In trying to see if each update has fixed the single-event-only-per-month-in-the-sidebar issue; I have found deleting test events to be a challenge.
In order to delete an event (even tho the pop-up window says it is doing it) I have to go into the event itself and erase all content - then a plain-textless red 'x' will show up in today's date and I am able to delete that.... (of course today's date is still showing as yesterday - as the timezone issue hasn't been corrected yet either : (
)
