295626 - Cannot create a task without a start/end date

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Provider: Local Storage, defect)

Something seems to be going wrong with event.<date>.isValid between the time a
task is created and is editted.  When creating a task without a start and/or
due-date, isValid returns false in the eventDialog's onOK function.  However,
when the task is opened for editting, isValid returns true and the start/end
date is set to 1/1/1970.  I'm setting to Component:Base on the suspicion that
the problem lies somewhere on the backend with isValid.

Perhaps related: A task's completed date is never properly saved when set in the
eventDialog, and always becomes 1/1/1970.

Reproducable: Always

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Create a new task leaving the start and/or due date blank.
2.) Open the eventDialog window to edit the task.

Actual results:
The task's start and/or due date is set to 1/1/1970

Expected results:
The task's start and/or date should remain blank.

The ics provider works fine for me, but the storage provider munges the date, so
moving to that component.

This seems fixed to me, even with storage calendars.
