Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new all day event and save it.
2. Reopen the event editing interface and open "Invite Attendees".
3. Remove all day property of the event

Actual results:

The event is found on today's date.

Expected results:

Behaviour similarly to the event editing interface and thus stay on the same day.
If we then check the box again, we remain stuck on the current date.

Thanks, but no need to comment / re-confirm the bug still exists unless you are adding new information to the bug. We assume the bug still exists, until someone says it does not.

I don't think I'm getting the drift of this report.

Using Thunderbird 95.0b3 on Fedora 34 Linux.

1. Created a new all day event for 11/16/2021 and saved it.
2. Edited the event and opened "Invite Attendees".
3. Removed all day property of the event from "Invite Attendees".
4. The date reverted to 11/15/2021 in the "Invite Attendees" dialog. The date remained 11/16 in the event dialog.
5. Clicked OK.
6. The date reverted to 11/15 in the event dialog.

Reporter,

Is this what you are reporting?

If I edit the event and removed the all day property from the event, it also is removed from "Invite Attendees", and remains an event on 11/16.

What I am reporting is the differences in behaviour between the participant invitation interface and the event editing interface.

For example, if we start an event on the day of 20/11/2021.
If we uncheck event on the day in the event edition, the event remains on the base date of the event (20/11/2021).

But if you do the same thing in the participant invitation interface, the event is set to the current date (16/11/2021).
And as the days displayed do not update if the event is basically 3-4 days away, we visually lose the availability information of the people (except if we validate and re-open the interface).

That sounds like a yes to me.

If I wanted to disable "All day Event", I would do it from the event dialog, not the "Invite Attendees" dialog.
