I have two Google calendars in Lightning, when I copy and paste an event it puts the event in the wrong calendar.

I have two Google calendars (both for the same Google account) called 'appointments' and 'notes'. I synchronise these with Lightning via caldav. In the appointments calendar I log events, meetings etc. and in the notes calendar I record things I need to remember, e.g. that my pension income is due on a certain day. Such notes are entered as untimed ('all day') events. Sometimes I copy and paste appointments -- e.g. I visit the dentist one day and arrange a further visit, so I copy the original entry to create the new appointment. Recently I have noticed that when I do this the new appointment is entered in the wrong calendar: the start and finish times are preserved but the calendar is changed from 'appointments' to 'notes' and I have to manually correct it.

Is there an option to specify the default calendar for new entries? Or is this a bug? I am using Lightning 4.0.5.2 with Thunderbird 38.5.1 and my operating system is Xubuntu Linux 14.04.2. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi Wayne, yes I solved it by hunting on the internet -- sorry I had forgotten this thread. The answer I found (can't remember where) is that the default calendar is whichever one was added last. So the solution was to remove the appointments calendar, restart Thunderbird and add the calendar again. It would be easier of course if there were an option to specify this within Thunderbird, but the 'solution' works OK.
