Caldav error in decoding data: System.Exception: Start after End

Hi, I am getting the following system exception when trying to sync with my NextCloud calendar. I am not sure if this is a bug with OneCalendar or if the site really sends wrong data.

The effect could have been caused by moving (by dragging) a calendar entry to another day/time. The move went visually ok but when I opened the moved entry, it still showed the old date/time, if I remember correctly. The following sync showed the error, and this is now happening with every sync operation.

O

There was a bad calendar entry as correctly reported in the error message:

UID:5e647167-63f2-4014-b757-d40b53211a61
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20191001T090000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20190915T090000

Fixed by manually deleting this entry from the Nextcloud database, in my case:

DELETE FROM `oc_calendarobjects` WHERE `oc_calendarobjects`.`uid` LIKE '5e647167%'

For me it is solved but it would be good if such bad entries could simply be ignored with a warning. Other calendar apps are able to cope with it.
