Confirmed using Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (20070326)and Lightning 0.5 RC1. Workaround: Thunderbird need restart

Comment 2

[Alessandro Vermeulen]

Indeed. Restarting Thunderbird does the trick. (With Lightning 0.3.1.)

I'm not sure if it should block calendar 0.5 release. Mini- calendar should work properly snd it doesn't. 

Comment 4

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

I don't think this needs to block. There is a quite easy workaround.

Comment 5

[Omar Bajraszewski]

Ok. But I think at least release note should be created to let people know about workaround.

In my opinion this is neither a blocker bug nor a topic for the release notes.

The minimonth still works properly after changing the preference and during restart the preference is correctly applied.

[Alessandro Vermeulen]

So make a notice at the menu which says something like that you have to restart Thunderbird to have a an effect.

Not blocking, no relnote needed. We will only relnote *severe* problems/bugs.

WFM now with Tb 2.0.0.6 and Lightning 0.7 RC2

Works for me too using Thunderbird 2.0.0.15pre (2008051204) and Lightning 0.9pre (2008050820).
