I prefer Monthly view but as you mentioned it I tried weekly view and don't
have the same problem. I suppose this means that I will have to change to
weekly view every time I add an event or put up with the incrementing end
date every time.

When you open an event in a view that does not have a time scale, the event
defaults to an all-day event. Opening it in a view with a time scale, the
event defaults to your time scale or 30 minutes, whichever is greater or to
the selected time slot if you preselect the time slot before creating the
event.
