Description Sascha Silbe 2005-11-12 14:18:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

When entering an end date for an event in KOrganizer (Actions -> 
New event -> Date&Time/End), the input-time forced validator is quite 
annoying.

E.g.:
Start date: 18.11.2005
Wanted end date: 20.11.2005
If I type "2" at the beginning of the End date field, the input validator 
rejects it (since 218.11.2005 is an invalid date).
If I delete the first "1" in the End date field, the input validator rejects 
it (since 8.11.2005 is before the start date).

Thus, I cannot enter the end date normally, but have to resort to using 
either Cursor-Up/Down (changing it only 1 day per keypress, very slow for 
large ranges) or the date selector (no keyboard control, have to use a 
pointer device instead).

Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created 
korganizer-devel mailing list.
Comment 2 Sergio Martins 2009-03-08 18:06:04 UTC 
This is already fixed.

In KDE4 (at least), the date field is edited by using the pop-up calendar. So this bug doesn't apply any more.

The time is editable with the keyboard, but you only get warnings after you finished editing.
