+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1648718 +++

doMidnightUpdate calls getMinimonth().refreshDisplay() which should move the selected day forward at midnight, if the current day was selected. Likewise, the calendar views should update the selected day, but they do not.

Bug 1648718 partially fixed the minimonth, but didn't actually update the selection.

I noticed that if I click the button to move one month forward, then click to move one month backward, the correct "Today" is highlighted. So at least as a work-around that is less annoying than having to restart thunderbird.

Yes, it also works when clicking "Today" after moving one or more months forward or backward. But still the bug remains.

For the most part, I haven't seen this issue in a long time. One thing I have seen is that closer to a later evening time (CST in my case), I sometimes see the calendar has moved to the next day. I thought it might have been my Windows Date & Time settings but they were set correctly. It's very random.

For me, the bug seems to be fixed now (@ 108.0b1)!
The current day correctly increments at midnight now. :-)

Geoff, The blocking bugs are all fixed. Anything left to do?

The selected day still isn't updated. So no. The "today" day is, but the selected day isn't.

I mean yes, there's things left to do. Answering the question as asked helps.

Why should the selected day be updated? I would not expect that...
The selected day should at most be updated if it equals the "today" day, otherwise not.
But this would then rather be a feature request than a bug, or not?

That's what I said in comment 0.
