 * I’ve come across the same issue. Although I’m not exactly sure what caused the
   bug (I updated wordpress and the calendar plugin around the same time). I noticed
   that the descriptions with dollar amounts in them ($10 etc.) would not display
   on the mouse-hover popup.
 * The fix required a slightly different modification:
 * `$details = '<span class="calnk"><a href="'.$linky.'" '.$style.'>' . stripslashes(
   $event->event_title) . '<span '.$style.'>' . $header_details . '' . stripslashes(
   str_replace('$','&#36',$event->event_desc)) . '</span></a></span>';`
 * Same thing other than using `'&#36'` rather than `'\$'` . Somehow the escaped
   dollar symbol `'\$'` didn’t want to take. Replacing the dollar symbol with the
   html entity code solves it.
