In day view, I enter events on today, Thursday. My week view is set to start the
week on Monday (European style). When I go to week view, all the events show up
on Friday, not Thursday.

Reproducible: Always

2.Enter events in Day view
3.Look at week view

Actual Results:  
today's events show up on tomorrow.

Expected Results:  
Have them show up as today.

When I changed start of the day back to Sunday, the week view is still broken.
Thursday events show up on Thursday in Day and MOnth, but on Friday in the week
view.

Try this with the 0.8 version of calendar.
This seems to work fine for me (which is suprising, given how much our week view
sucks.)

Apparently this is still a problem for John.
I'll confirm it.

i think this bug may be related to time zone.  here is what i experience:

(note that the first day of week for me is saturday, and that i have several
pre-existing all-day events entered)

1 open moz and calendar first time
2 existing all-day events appear one day early (e.g. friday events display on
thursday etc)
3 double-click a wednesday to enter an event
4 enter event starting 4am and save
  - event is displayed on tuesday instead of wednesday

5 without closing moz, close and reopen calendar
  - existing all-day events are on correct dates now.  
  - new event is displayed 4am, wednesday

6 close calendar and moz completely; reopen moz and calendar

  - as before, existing all-day events are displayed a day early.
  - new event is displayed as 11pm, tuesday - five hours early.


I happen to live in eastern US - my time zone is -5, which coincides with the
5-hour difference in event start time.  the original poster mentioned
european-style dates, and that he experiences this event shift in the opposite
direction - ie. events are displayed a day late, instead of a day early.  so,
i'm willing to wager that the poster is in europe, to the east of GMT, and has a
time zone that is +XX hours relative to GMT.

can anyone confirm this behavior with a different time zone?

can anyone *fix* this?  :-)
