Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

The optional Mozilla calendar, which I installed into Thunderbird .8 version, is
buggy.  I entered a repeating appointment for Saturday, but it occasionally
appeared as a Sunday appointment.  Double clicking on the Sunday appointment
would bring up recurrance information that correctly assigned the appointments
to the right time on Saturday, yet it was appearing on Sunday's calendar.  In
addition, various appointments, on various dates, have simply disappeared for no
apparent reason.  They just dropped off the calendar.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set appointments in calendar.
2.  Open and close calendar within Thunderbird.
3.  Appointments get mixed from day to day, and drop off for no apparent reason.

Actual Results:  
Appointment scheduled for recurrance every Saturday, started appearing on
Sundays.  Other appointments dropped off entirely, for no apparent reason.

Expected Results:  
Correctly kept recurring appointments on the day they are scheduled for.  Held
all appointments in memory files until the user deletes them or switches them to
another day or time.

Avery: I tried installing the calendar into the 0.8 release build on the Mac and
didn't have any luck (I got a dialog saying the extension was not compatible). 
Also, the Moz Calendar Web Page
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/download.html) mentions the fact that
if you have 3rd  party themes installed you may have problems.

No response from reporter in almost 6 months.  Without more specific
information, the bug cannot be reproduced.  Marking WFM.
