Description David Greenberg 2002-11-29 20:22:45 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          as per Mandrake 9.0 updated Mandrake latest updates installed today 29/11/02
OS:          Linux

I move the calendar forward to Jan 2003.  Click on Jan 15 and doble click on the 10:00 line.  I enter a test event and press OK.  The event does not appear on this date (Wed Jan 15 2003) but on Jan 15 2002.  If I try again and look at the date it says "Wednesday:01-15".  I click on the calendar pad icon on the right and it comes up on with Tuesday Jan 15 2002 highlighted.  I forward one year to 2003 and click on 15, the date stays the same ("Wednesday:01-15").  Clicking the calendar pad tab on the right again brings up Jan 2002 again with Tuesday the 15th highlighted.  No matter what I enter, it saves as 2002.  Is there a way of manually entering the year as text on this line?  My attmpts have been rejected with the popup "Please specify a valid start date".  Recurring events started in 2002 continue on through 2003. Trying to enter 2003 dates in the recurrence exceptions list brings them up as 2002.

The same error does not occur on a nearby machine with the same configuration.  Any thoughts?  Good luck and thank you.

Version fron Help - About indicates 3.03.

Problem solved by changing the date format in Control Centre, Personalization,
Country & Language, to YYYY-MM-DD.  The previous format "Wednesday:01-15" did
not include the year.  I could not figure out how to add the year in this
format.  The change to the new format has the program working as expected.

I have the same problem, but my Date format includes the year, here it is:
WEEKDAY DD MONTH YYYY

For other applications I need the format this way, so I am not keen on changing
it just so that the Calendar works. However, maybe it will work in 2003? I can
put off entering my events in January :)

is this still a problem (no not january, how about february? ;)

I am just a user trying to help, and I am not affiliated with the KDE developers.

Everything seems fine now since the date format change.  I suspect even without
the change it would have been OK starting Jan 01 2003, (but there would have
been problems from then until Dec 31 2003 trying to enter 2004 dates).
