First off, many thanks to the Events module team.

A couple glitches I am experiencing.

When I enter an event longer than 1 day in length and the event start date has come and gone, the event shows up with the current date as the event start date in the list view (Cudos! this behaviour is great!); however, the event end date gets changed.  It appears the event duration gets added to the current date but the time passed since the actual event start date is not subtracted. 

i.e. - An event with an actual start date of 7/1/07 and end date of 9/30/07 shows an end date of 10/30/07 on 8/1/07.

Also, all occurences of recurring events show up on lists limited to a set number of days when the start date falls within the selected limit.

i.e. - Event start date 9/1/07 with weekly occurances through 12/31/07 on list specifying next 30 days only shows start times for each week though 12/31/07.

This would be a nice fixes for the next version.

I ran across this problem too. I don't think there is an easy fix. The Event is stored in the database as "Start Date/Time" and "duration". As you have seen End Date/Time is derived by adding the duration to the start time. In other words if you have a duration of more than 24 hours you are actually creating a recurring Event not a single event.

I ended up limiting the max Event duration to 24 hours and users must use the Recurrence settings to make Events spam multiple days.
