Thunderbird ignoring multiple holidays on same day

more options

I recently subscribed to the TB calendar for USA holidays. I reported a problem with the calendar itself and got no response to my last reply ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1438331|here]).

There is also a problem with the way TB displays holidays when more than one appears on the same date for the same region (i.e., where UID:<xx> is the same), possibly also depending on the CATEGORIES or CLASS codes, though I didn't check for that.

For example, for Feb. 11, 2024, TB shows "International Day of Women and Girls in Science" (UID:un), "Super Bowl" (UID:us), and "World Day of the Sick" (UID:world). It does not show "Lunar New Year," which appears in the calendar with UID:us. It appears that when there is more than one holiday on a given date for a given region (US in this case), it displays only one.

This is also the case for May 27, 2024, which is not only "Decoration Day" (UID:us), but is also "Jefferson Davis' Birthday" (UID:us), but TB shows only Decoration Day. (And the calendar has no entry for "Memorial Day," which is the federal holiday on that date. That was the original problem I asked about.)

The entries are listed below for the calendar I downloaded from TB.
