   I only know that this happens on my machine, please confirm.

   When i use the date picker to choose a Start or Due Date, the months will
change the data (and the chosen selection will be correct), but the month is
labeled "March" even when it is April, May, June, or July!

   Weird. Maybe my machine has a ghost? :)
   Please check this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose "New Event" or "New Task"
1a. (optional - fill in "Title")
2. Choose "Start" or "Due Date" drop-down date picker.
2a. (Today's date is 2004 dec 09, in case this bug turns out to be date specific.)
3. Click the "Right Arrow" to advance to the next month.
4. On the 4th click (in my case, going from 2005 March to April), the days of
the month change, but the calendar remains labeled as "March"!
4a. For some reason, the monthly labels return by "August".

Actual Results:  
Nevertheless, the function returns the correct data for the chosen Start or Due
Date.

Expected Results:  
The months April through July should have been labeled at the top of the
minicalendar.
I am not able to reproduce this behavior with 2004111214-cal on Firefox 1.0.

What version of calendar are you using? (Help | about calendar)
What locale?
Are there any errors in the JavaScript Console?

   Thank you. Thats good news for the product - bad news for me.

> What version of calendar are you using? (Help | about calendar)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112 Mozilla
Sunbird/0.2b

> What locale?

   I probably should know what this means, but i don't in a Windows XP context.

> Are there any errors in the JavaScript Console?

   Wow! I never noticed that was there. Yes, there are 2 (after i cleared them
and reproduced the error):
1. Error: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/autocomplete/controller;1'] has no
properties
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/autocomplete.xml
Line: 52

2. Error: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/autocomplete/controller;1'] has no
properties
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/autocomplete.xml
Line: 52

But they appeared when just opening "New Event". That's long before my supposed
bug of labeling the month incorrectly.

So, is it something i'm doing wrong?

   Thanks for your help with this.
Confirmed.

Happens on Sunbird 20041112, and a (limping) install of calendar 20041117 onto
Mozilla1.8a5.  (Was not able to install into nightly 20041209, failed silently.)

Does happen as reported in minimized width menulist date picker, but does not
happen in the fixed width minimonth tab (above task list).  May have something
to do with the length of the month name, as these months have short names in
English.  Can get the name written by waving mouse pointer over it, though old
name is not completely erased.

Does not happen on Calendar 20041112 on FF1.0. (1.7.5).

This suggests it is caused by changes in the underlying 1.8 trunk code, which is
undergoing revision... may revisit this after it settles down (maybe when
Mozilla 1.8a6 or 1.8b comes out).

may be we can use this temporary fix before the actual redraw bug got fixed? 

furthermore, i am unable to find the corresponding bug in bugzilla, does
anybody know if it has a bug entry?

bug 199779 has a possible but imperfect patch that also seems to fix this problem.
marking target 0.2.
Target Milestone: --- → Sunbird 0.2RC2
I am having the same problem as the original poster of this bug.  I am running
Sunbird 0.2RC2 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5)
Gecko/20050111 Mozilla Sunbird/0.2RC2) on Windows XP SP 2.

On mine it does not show the correct month label until it gets to September.

Also, I noticed if I mouseover the month lable it will change to the correct month.

How to Repoduce:

1) Create a new event on any date in the months of January, February, or March
of 2005.
2) Drop down the start or end date, and press the right arrow to change the
month displayed.
  a) The dates will change to the proper corresponding dates for the month. 
However, the months of April through August appear with the month label of
March.  If you mouseover the actual label it will change to the correct month.
  b) Variant: If you create a new event in the months of April, May, June, or
July, it will display that month (the month you created the event in) until it
gets to September at which point it will switch to the correct label.
  c) Furthermore:  It does not matter what year you scroll to, or what year you
start with.




*** Bug 280599 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
problem also encountered on my host with Sunbird 0.2.
The behavior is exactly the same as described in comment #9

Configuration: Sunbird 0.2, Windows 2000 Professional
This bug is always present in 0.2 Final with XP, w98se
Is there an explanation on how to install the patch with Sunbird.

Thanks

Bug 278877 contains a different fix, similar idea (redraw).  The problem only
occurs in the datepicker popup, so that patch uses the onchange handler.  (In
bug 278877 reshowing the popup is needed after month list or year list pops down
to prevent freeze, and it uses the same idea to redraw when the month changes.)
