I've gone back over this several times.  This bug shows up when the event is after 6:59PM.

That looks like a timezone issue... Given that this is dataloss, marking as blocking 0.3a2

[Michiel van Leeuwen (email: mvl+moz@)]

Jason: Can you check what sunbird thinks your timezone is? (You need to use a build from tomorrow, one that has bug 304541 fixed). And what timezone is your computer set to?
I can't repoduce the bug on my linux system, but i didn't change my system timezone. I'll retest in my windows vmware once the new builds are available.

I can't reproduce the bug. Maybe it's fixed by bug 333717. Jason, can you confirm?

Removing this bug from the blocker list, because it's unlikely to hit a lot of people, if it isn't already fixed.

This now works for me.  Whose responsiblity is it to close (tag as "fixed") this bug?

Comment 9

[Michiel van Leeuwen (email: mvl+moz@)]

Marking as worksforme, because there is no real fix in this bug.

The bugspam monkeys have struck again. They are currently chewing on default assignees for Calendar. Be afraid for your sanity!
