It's probably obvious, but I can't figure out why some items in my calendar are printed in bold while others aren't. Is it something to do with syncing? Or maybe it's just an odd conditional formatting rule I created and forgot about? Thanks.

Bold is turned off when there isn't enough space to enter the entire event text

Ah, thanks. This only considers the first line of an event, right? If it's a scheduled event with several lines, the text can fit the space but it'll still not be bold (see example screenshot). Overall, I find these different styles rather confusing (I'd rather there was no auto-bolding).
 
By the way, sometimes a calendar event's text also turns white after editing it, not sure in what exact situations. Could you explain?

Thanks a lot, Pierre, for your bold move in making calendar boldness optional!
 
As for the text of calendar events unintentionally turning white, as I mentioned in my previous post, it turns out that for those items, 'ItemColor' was set to 0 rather than "". I can revert text colour to black by setting ItemColor from 0 to "" for these items.
 
The '0' value was set by one of my auto-assign rules as I didn't think it'd make a difference. I have now changed it to use "".
 
By the way, the items with an ItemColor value of 0 could not be shown as items in an ItemColor grid so they were treated like items with an ItemColor value of "" for grid populating purposes. However, when I created a grid of items with ItemInCalendar checked and added ItemColor as a column, I could find the misbehaving items / calendar events by sorting the ItemColor column. Here, the 0s showed and were sorted before the items that were blank. The properties pane also treats the '0' items as distinct from the "" ones.
