I don't ever recall seeing this in any Thunderbird and Lightning I have used over the years.
peshko, are you still using Thunderbird and Lightning? The current versions are Thunderbird 60.8.0 and Lightning 6.2.8.
Using Windows 10 64bit, Thunderbird 68.2.0 32bit, Lightning 68.2.0, Provider for Google Calendar 68.0
Although I am using the default Home calendar.
In Options set View of hours: Day starts at: 08:00, Day ends at: 20:00 and show 12 hours
open Calendar on 'Day'
First time slot automatically is 04:00 at the top
Expected 08:00 as per settings.
Same issue as 'peshko.us' - showing 4 hours prior to start time.
00:00 - 08:00 and 20:00 - 23:00 is greyed out and accessible via scroll bar.
I would expect this to Not be showing as I've selected a view that does not include those hours, so I would only expect the hours selected to actually show; no greyed out hours.
Double click in any time slot and that includes the greyed ones that should not be visible, will allow me to create New Event with specific hour already entered.
Show 12 hours is not the only hours shown nor accessible.
I would expect to only see the selected twelve hours, starting at the Start time and ending at the end time.
No greyed out areas and focus upon opening should be on the start time slot.

Current TB design seems correct to me... and does not seems to look like a bug... it may be that the options are mis-understood in term of expected behaviour...
-
The Day Start/End at are to identify the working hours (in white) as opposed to the non-working hours (greyed out) in the view
-
The Show X hours are the number of hours you would see in the view when you click on it (hour line size would be adjusted vertically in the view for you to see the X number of hours when view is selected)
Therefore the behaviour you expect is not seems currently available.
If I click on the Day view without any items selected in the Find Events view (unifinder), I get the proper 8am starting time at the top of the day view. Now if I select an item in unifinder the day view automatically update so it shows the event in the horizontal middle of the view... that is why the starting hour in the view may vary depending on the event that is selected in unifinder... it make it easier to find in the view... in the middle...
It is quite appreciable to be able to access the greyed out hours... as it may happen sometime (or often) that you need to add an event in this area despite being greyed out.
If you want to see less hours per view maybe reduced the Show hours number...

What may be helpful perhaps may be to have the greyout area (outside working hours) set to a darker background tone by default as to contrast more with the while area (working hours)...
What might be helpful is if the view starts with the selected start hour at the top and not various number of hours before it or if a start time prior to 04:00 was selected then it should be auto at the top and visible.
It would also help if the number of hours you want to view is also shown and those hours do not include any greyed out hours.
re :"If I click on the Day view without any items selected in the Find Events view (unifinder), I get the proper 8am starting time at the top of the day view. "
I'm not selecting any events and it occurs regardless of whether 'find Events' is visible or not. There are no events or tasks.
If I start the day at 06:00 and select to view 8 hours then the first hour shown is still 04:00 and it shows 8 hours (including the 2 hours between 4 and 6 that are greyed out). So only 6 hours are actually shown in white. I would expect 8 hours in white.
If I select 04:00 as start time then it shows the start time at the top because it happens to be 4am and 8 hours of white are shown.
If I select 02:00 as Start Time and show 8 hours, then the first time at the top is still 04:00. I would have to scroll up to see times between 2 and 4.
If I select noon as the Start time and show 8 hours, then top time is 04:00 and 8 greyed out hours are shown, there are no white hours shown unless you scroll.
By the way, regardless of any start time selected, there is always a darker line shown just above 04:00 which extends into the left column where the actual times are displayed.
Would there be a preference setting in config that forces the first time shown to be 04:00 because if not then this is certainly not expected behaviour.
I'm not suggesting the greyed out hours should not be visible if you choose to scroll either up or down.
I am suggesting that the selected start time is at the top and the number of hours selected eg: 8 means I see 8 white hours
So If I set 09:00 as start and 17:00 as end and show 8 hours, then those hours should be white and immediately in view.
09:00 should be the first time slot at the top and the next 8 hours in white shown.
All greyed out hours should only be accessible via scrolling.
So under normal working conditions you would never need to scroll nor see any greyed out hours unless you specifically use the scroll bar.
This is the expected behaviour.
As it is not occuring then something is wrong.

Weirdness abounds...selected 'week' and still shows 4 am - 9am as grey. from 9am as white.
reselect 'Day' and now it shows 9am - 5pm as white with 9am at the top, yehar for now ...but 'week' view is still stuck on 4am at top.

(In reply to Anje from comment #11)
Now in version 68.5.0 and still see the same problem.
Still happening in 68.12.0 or 78.2.2?
What about with the Provider for Google Calendar extension disabled?
I'm not seeing this problem.

Tested in 68.12.0 32bit and 78.2.2 64bit
Hours set as starting at 9am and opening Calendar now shows 9am at the top.
So, I'm not seeing this bug in either of those two versions.
Provider for google Calendar is enabled.
