I'm sorry I misunderstood the original report. It would have helped if
it had contained steps to reproduce the problem.

If you select the date of a recurrence that isn't the next recurrence,
and the event doesn't show up in the list, then that's a bug
*regardless* of whether the list should include events from other days.
If that, separate, issue was your motivation for setting this bug report
to High importance, that may be misguided.

On the subject of including events from other days, my objection to that
would have been that it would be weird to show events from the date you
selected and also events from dates that *weren't* the date you
selected. However, I've just realized that I was trying to be too clever
in saying that the list should be of "events for the selected day", for
two reasons. First, the list of events might be present while the
calendar is not present at all. Secondly, as specified, choosing a date
opens the calendar app to that date, which naturally closes the menu. It
can't do both that *and* show you a list of events underneath.
(Conceivably it could show a date's events when the date is highlighted
(moused over or arrowed to), and open the calendar when the date is
chosen (clicked or Enter pressed). Or we could show a date's events when
the date is chosen, and (as seems to be implemented now) open the
calendar on a double-click. But neither would work when keyboard
navigation is implemented properly. The former wouldn't work because
arrowing towards the list of events would change the selected date,
which would make the events you were trying to navigate to disappear;
and the latter wouldn't work because there's no keyboard equivalent to a
double-click.)

So, as you suggested, I've reverted that change. The list should show
upcoming events, regardless of whether the calendar above is present or
what you do with it.
