Reminders do not persist beyond end date in Lightning. Error or design?

Reminders do not reappear once the "END" date is reached. Other calendaring programs I have used continue the reminder until the user manually terminates it.

Is this an error in Lightning or is this behavior by design?

Currently using: TB 31.0b2 3.3b1 Vista

Are you setting the repeat appropriately? In Lightning you need to set an event to repeat indefinitely and not end.

That seems entirely reasonable to me; I guess it's largely a matter of the terminology.

My calendar is full of repeating events; reminders to change passwords, put the bins out, attend to renewals, birthdays, anniversaries etc. So yes it can do events that recur indefinitely.

Why are you running a beta version?

You are absolutely right ... I guess it is a matter of what you are used to as well as how you view the issue.

I am running a beta version because I had a number of issues with the stable versions (mostly due to the learning curve as I just started using TB/Lightning/Provider a few months ago.) I am not experiencing any particular problems with the beta version; I certainly do not run the "nightly" version.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
