289229 - [RFE] New Event defaults to current date rather than date selected on calendar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 275357

(Calendar :: Internal Components, enhancement)

Description

[C. Furchner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

[RFE] When entering a new event, I have the habit of clicking on the date of the
event on the large calendar, if it is in view, or the small calendar, if in a
different week range or month.  But when I bring up the "new event" screen, the
default date that appears is the current (today's) date.  It would seem more
"natural" to me if the default new event date were the date that is
selected/highlighted on the large calendar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on any date on a multiweek or monthly large calendar
2.Click on the 'new event' icon
3.

Actual Results:  
In the New Event window, the date that appears is today's date

Expected Results:  
In the New Event window, show the date highlighted on the large calendar

Reporter:
    Sunbird already seems to be functioning exactly as you desired, for me.  I'm
also running Sunbird 0.2 (20050203) on WinXP.  I tried everything I could think
of to confuse it about the date (clicking somewhere else in between clicking a
date and selecting new event), but it always opened the new event window with
the correct date of the selected day.  I checked all views and they behave
appropriately.  Could you try and provide additional information about how to
reproduce this?  If it's happening to you, as you described, I'd call it more of
a bug than an RFE.

Maybe it's really New Task (Bug 275357) ?

On geka's suggestion, I'll give the reporter the benefit of the doubt and mark
this a duplicate of bug 275357.
