I'm using Thunderbird's Lightning addon to manage my calendars. I've been running into an issue where certain calendar events simply refuse to be dismissed for several days. They usually end up going away after a while but it's been over a week for the latest instance of this and I can't get it to go away.
The only pattern I can see in this is that it seems to occur with reoccurring events but other than that it seems entirely random.
My process is as follows
I click "Dismiss"
A window appears stating "This item has recently been changed on the server. Submitting your changes will overwrite the changes made on the server.
If I click "Discard my changes and reload", the reminder immediately appears. If I click "Submit my changes anyway" the reminder appears in another 10 minutes.
I've looked in the error log in thunderbird and I found the following that seems relevant:

In some ways, I'm glad that this solution is only 1.5 years old. I've been annoyed by the problem for at least 2. Thank you! – jmorganmartin – 2019-02-14T21:13:44.210
1Unfortunately this solution does not work in the latest Thunderbird version because the setting does not exist anymore. – Carsten Schmitz – 2019-11-06T11:58:02.327
