Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Sunbird Standalone: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20050203 Mozilla Sunbird/0.2

If the current time is in the last 29 minutes (for multiweek view) or in the
last 4 minutes (for month view) of a day, a new event's default date is one day
later than the day you double clicked on.

The default date is set to the next day only when double clicking, this bug does
not affect the context menu "New event...".

This bug is probably caused by the two getNewEventDate() functions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your clock to 11:56 pm.
2. Double click on a day in multiweek or month view in order to add a new event.

Actual Results:  
Default start date is on the next day.

Expected Results:  
Default start date should be on the day you clicked on.

Confirmed in both Sunbird 0.2rc2 and Calendar 2005011112 (firefox, WinXP).  It
seems to be due to the conflict between getting today's date and rounding to the
next 5 minute increment, which becomes 12:00am and hence, the next day.  Why the
multiweek view is rounding from the half-hour, I don't know though.

It's nearly the same function, but in multiweekView.js the rounding/inc is done
by 30 minutes rather than 5 minutes.

So i guess this can be fixed quite easily.

Removing gCalendarWindow.currentView will probably fix this bug, or at least make it much easier to fix.

Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4pre) Gecko/20070331 Calendar/0.5pre

Current system time is set to 23:57. Double clicking in the multiweek/month view creates an event that starts on the clicked day at 23:00 and duration as specified by preference calendar.event.defaultlength.
