I would like to report a JEvents behavior which looks like a bug to me.
After exporting an ics file from a JEvents calendar and importing it in another calender application, an entry with location "a, b" showed as "a" in the other calender application.
When inspecting the ics file, i noticed that the comma is not escaped by JEvents:
See https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt:
There are other characters that need escaping, and probably other fields (e.g. SUMMARY) are affected too.
Could you look into this?

See https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt:
A COMMA character in a
"TEXT" property value MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH character
(US-ASCII decimal 92).
There are other characters that need escaping, and probably other fields (e.g. SUMMARY) are affected too.

Thanks for highlighting this - strange that it hasn't been raised as an issue before now
The fix is to change line 148-162 of components/com_jevents/views/icals/tmpl/export.php to read

if ($a->location() != "")

}
else if (isset($a->_loc_title))
