Problem/Motivation

When listing nodes of custom content types that include repeat date fields the format of the returned nodes does not work with the way the Views pager handles results.
This seems to be due to the fact that repeat dates do not create separate nodes but calculate Views listing entries based on the original node, hence all list entries have the same nid.
The Views pager, however, counts the Views result based on an optimized query that counts only distinct nid entries.
Thus, the pager displays results based on the distinct number of nids while the list of nodes with date repeat entries is actually way longer. This leads to only a limited number of nodes being displayed rather than all entries. Also, a pager is only displayed if the number of elements per page is smaller than the number of distinct nid nodes (however, the pager does not show and list the correct number of overall entries due to the same issue).

I've described the original problem with my subsequent comments in a bug report for Views but was asked to report it with the content type field instead. For full description incl examples see issue: http://drupal.org/node/1225518.

Thanks heaps for looking into this!
