307896 - datepicker by month/year fails (causes eventual GPF)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Internal Components, defect)

Description

[bellyman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716
Build Identifier: Sunbird 0.2

When using the datepicker (event/recurring) it will fail under certain
selections (month/year)
Datepicker on MONTH VIEW (LEFT SIDE) appears to work properly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pick a date on current month, works
2. Change month by arror then date, appears to work
3. (Current Month/Year is Sep 2005) - select MONTH - does not (always) select
the list of months.  (see 5 below)
4. (Current Month/Year is Sep 2005) - select YEAR - does not (always) select the
list of YEARS. (see 5 below)
5.  If it does not show the proper month/year, you can no longer pick a day on
the current month - to get out you must go back to the date field, which removes
the picker.

Generates a GPF once I leave the Event or during the event (many times now)

Reporter:
   Can you please test this on a nightly build of sunbird to see if the issue
still exists there?  Thanks.

Date picker appears to be functioning properly with the nighly build.  But after
accepting the date and then quitting sunbird, I still get a GPF.

Problem with picker (bug?  more of a design flaw) is that the WIDTH of the box
keeps changing.  The box should be as wide as the longest month (September) and
never change size.  You click BACK BACK BACK from November and each is slightly
smaller than the previous until you hit July and then you are clicking outside
of the picker.

Use Sunbird 0.2 quite a bit and yet to have any GPFs otherwise.  So to me there
still seems to be an issue using the datepicker.

I don't understand this.  Either the picker is working properly in the nightly
build or it's causing faults.  Can you elaborate further?  What date-format is
your system set to (mm-dd-yyyy, dd-mm-yyyy, etc)?

This is a separate bug, please don't address multiple issues in one bug.  (I'm
95% sure this bug has already been filed.)

Again, if the nightly build is functioning properly, then the problem has
already been fixed, so this bug should be closed.

I have tested this again with the latest build for Oct 1
(<2005-10-01-08-trunk/>) and was unable to get it to GPF.

This nightly build appears to work and therefore, I have assigned it to be FIXED.
