Yes, it is.

I've tried this. After restarting evolution, the process to populate
the calendar(s) from scratch seems to run, for a second or two. There's
a little animation right of the calendar name. But afterwards, the
calendar is still empty.

I've again looked for filters and configuration, but couldn't find
anything that was responsible for the bug.

I *don't* see locally stored events, see below.

I've tried that too, but no luck.

I've tried to make a calendar entry, both in the remote CalDAV calendar
and in the local "On this computer" calendar. BOTH didn't show the test
entry. Also, the new test entry didn't make it to the Nextcloud server.

Thanks and bye,
