Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy an event 2. paste it to a new day Actual Results: 1. the time-part (second box) of the Start field is initialized to the *current* time. 2. the time-part of the End field is initialized to one hour later than the current time. Furthermore, if this operation is done after 11pm, the date-part of the End field is set to the day *after* the Start date. Expected Results: 1. the time-part of the Start field should be the same as it was in the copied event. 2. similarly for the End field. When an event is *dragged* from one day to another, the behavior is *correct*. So "Paste" should look more like "Drag", in this regard.
(Sorry, didn't include in my report:) Mozilla Calendar 2003021416-cal
Confirmed, on latest Linux/x86, and older Solaris/SPARC 20030318. In addition, the following fields of an event are not [always] copied/pasted: o lasts all day toggle o multi-day (ie end day != start day) o category o calendar file I tihnk all of these need to be copied/pasted.

Ever confirmed: true
If Len doesn't mind, I'll take the liberty of updating the Summary. My comment #2 about multi-day might need explaining: if I have an event that spans 2 days, e.g. start day 10th, end day 11th, and I copy the event, and paste it onto the 20th, I would expect to get a 2-day event spanning 20th/21st. currently I get a 1-day event only on the 20th.
Summary: event Paste should preserve Start and End times from the event Copy → event Paste should preserve settings (time, category, calendar file) from the event Copy

Re comment #3: Mind? Delighted! Thanks!
I noticed that too. I can confirm.
