Cannot dismiss thunderbird calendar reminder for google calendar

I have an event yesterday with a notification on Google calendar.

I start up email today. Notification pops up. I cannot dismiss the notification.

I edit the event to remove the notification. On Thunderbird - but it won't save. So I go to Google calendar and remove the notification.

On Google calendar, it says I have no notification for this event. On Thunderbird it will NOT let me remove the notification.

Now every time i open thunderbird, the notification pops up. Short of deleting the event (which I do not want to do because I want a record of it on my calendar), there is NO way to make this stop.

I have had this problem pop up periodically for the last 18 months. (Unfortunately, it's getting bad enough with no fix I will need to find a different email/calendar application).

Any ideas how to fix? (Can we get the bug fixed in the code?)

I am not sure whether the following link is related to your situation or not: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1476844

Maybe "Show missed reminders for writable calendars" is ticked and there are some missed reminders.

Maybe you can untick the above-mentioned option (inside "Settings" > "Calendar" > "When a Reminder is Due") and see whether the problem happens again or not.

Or maybe you can mark that calendar as read-only. If you want to do so, the following link might be helpful: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changing-calendar-preferences

Or maybe you can delete that event. (I know that you said that you do not want to do so.)

Helpful?
