Initial properties are not properly handled, resulting in local duplicate events

[barryridge]

If I add an event such as this one:

* Test Event 1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LOCATION: Location 1
  :END:
  <2018-12-06 Thu>

after using either org-gcal-post-at-point or org-gcal-sync, the result is as follows:

* Test Event 1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LOCATION: Location 1
  :LINK: [[https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=xxx][Go to gcal web page]]
  :ID: xxx
  :END:

  <2018-12-06 Thu>

  :PROPERTIES:
  :LOCATION: Location 1
  :END:
  <2018-12-06 Thu>

If, on the other hand, I drop the properties altogether from the entry as follows:

* Test Event 2
  <2018-12-06 Thu>

and then run org-gcal-sync, I get the following:

* Test Event 2
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LINK: [[https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=xxx][Go to gcal web page]]
  :ID: xxx
  :END:

The Test Event 1 case leaves duplicate events in the local org file (as you can see from the above) but not in the Google calendar. Nevertheless, it is still quite a nuisance. One workaround, that works in the case of Test Event 1, is to just delete the trailing properties and timestamp and re-sync. Another workaround, that works in the case of Test Event 2 is to just add the :LOCATION: property to the updated event after the sync, once the :ID: and :LINK: properties have been added, then re-sync.

Note that I am using the google-calendar-layer (or at least my own working fork of it), as well as multiple calendars. I would gladly dig into this a bit further myself, but I'm afraid my E-Lisp skills are not quite up to the challenge, currently.

I fixed that for myself in myuhe#122. It's a simple change to the regexp that recognizes the property block. Check if it fixes it for you.

Ported the change to this branch, see #27.

Just confirmed that your merged PR is working for me now that it has been updated on melpa. Thank you very much @phrxmd

I am having this issue with org-capture. I typed the following in org-capture and finish.

* Yet another org-gcal event
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LOCATION: 1110 Kim Engineering Building
  :END:

What I get after it automatically post the item:

* Yet another org-gcal event
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LOCATION: 1110 Kim Engineering Building
  :END:
