To repro:

• Create an event that repeats every 6 years, with a start date in 2019
• Try to view that event

This is because Event::nextOccurrence only searches within a couple of years, and returns null if it goes out of range, but get__happening doesn't handle null.

Please could you give me the exact start date being used? I am not able to replicate the issue here

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

Just a quick note to let you know this has been resolved in the latest 4.7.4 release, which went out a short time ago. If you are still experiencing this issue after upgrading to that release, please let us know.
