No, it is as designed. Just because you think it should not place it in your calendar, does not mean that everyone else thinks the same way. For others, seeing where the appt. falls in relation to the rest of the work day/week before accepting or declining makes perfect sense. It gives the recipient the full view of their working day/week in order to make a decision.
