1427657 - "Due Date: " label overlaps the data in date field when editing a calendar event

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[[:AlanK]]

Attachment: Start and End Dates with extra label overlaying user input data

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171130143849

Steps to reproduce:

Editing a calendar event.    


Actual results:

The words "Due Date:" overlay the actual date in the field.  Looks like a extraneous label field. 


Expected results:

Remove this extra label or find out where it should properly go.
This is not a proper fix but I fixed it locally by changing the file in:
extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/chrome/calendar-en-US/locale/en-US/calendar/calendar-event-dialog.dtd
Lines 213-219 (approx).  These labels were nulled out and the display was fixed:
<!ENTITY task.from.label                                  "" >
<!ENTITY task.from.accesskey                              "">
<!ENTITY task.to.label                                    "" >
<!ENTITY task.to.accesskey                                "">

Al, do you use a theme from Alfred Kayser for TB? I know that his themes has/had this problem. If yes, can you try with the default theme?

Bingo, I had to look it up to see who wrote the theme.   I use walnut for thunderbird theme.  
And changing to the default theme and putting back some text in that file I edited still cleared the issue.
So you can close this in some fashion.   

Thanks.  I'll find another theme.
