This issue tracks the destructive nature of completing a recurring task via the UI.
The Feature request for full recurring task support is tracked in #34

The worst part about this is that you don't even notice that it happened until the task that is supposed to re-occur doesn't for a while and you wonder why, likely when it's much too late. The whole point of having tasks is that I'd otherwise forget.
Until proper support is implemented, NC tasks should refuse to check a recurring task.
Perhaps slightly more user friendly would be to put it behind an explicit user confirmation which informs the user that this will break the recurrence.

Should be fixed by #3021. There will be an alpha release for testing. Please report if this issue is still unresolved.
