[Eeglablist] Rejecting continuous data with script: "events were corrupted" (BUG 1971)

[Shaoyun Yu]

Dear Arnaud,

Thank you very much for your reply.
I have tried "EEG = eeg_eegrej(EEG, [1 100; 500 600])", but the bug 
still occurs with my dataset:

 >> EEG = eeg_eegrej(EEG, [1 100; 500 600]);
eeg_insertbound(): 2 boundary (break) events added.
Warning: converting all event types to strings
eeg_insertbound(): 2 boundary (break) events added.
BUG 1971 WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING A SCRIPT WITTEN FOR A PREVIOUS VERSION OF
EEGLAB TO CALL THIS FUNCTION, BECAUSE YOU ARE REJECTING THE ONSET OF THE 
DATA,
EVENTS WERE CORRUPTED. EVENT LATENCIES ARE NOW CORRECT (SEE 
https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/EEGLAB_bug1971);

Unfortunately, it seems that I do not have permission to the Google 
Drive link.
I have uploaded one of my datasets to the URL below (both the original 
BioSemi BDF and a smaller down-sampled dataset).
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WJtkjMohN068S_nJIXZkK2ST9ObjIoad?usp=sharing
I will really appreciate it if you could check if there are any 
consistency issues after rejection.

Thank you,
Shaoyun
