Remove a repeating task scheduled to continue indefinitely
I encountered a repeating task issue on the web version. (Chrome) I had set a task to repeat daily indefinitely (no set end date), but ran into a problem trying to remove it and cancel the repetition. Editing the earliest occurrence of the task and removing the repeat option does nothing except remove the repeating symbol from that single day's task. The rest of the future tasks still appear and still show up as repeating. Refreshing the page does not help.
After quite a while of messing around with it, I discovered a workaround: editing the first occurrence by KEEPING the repeat status but adding an end date (the same date as the event). This removes subsequent tasks, and then the one remaining task can be checked off or deleted. This does seem to work every time, but it's a multi-step, non-intuitive process for doing something that should be pretty simple.
