Version: 3.4 (using KDE 3.4.89 (CVS >= 20050314), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-1) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.10 my KDE is configured to use the following time format: "pH:MM:SS" (notice how I use 12 hour time without the "am/pm"?) This is because I can't count past 12 :) In the combobox, if I select (for example) 11:00-12:00, it thinks I mean 11:00am to 12:00am (midnight) and thus thinks I selected an impossible range. I think the following system should work: - Always show the AM/PM if the time format is set to "pH" - If the "end time" is before the "begin time", assume there's a PM thanks
I have the exact same problem with New Events & To-Dos. The only thing you can do to set the time past noon is go to the Calendar view and drag the event box to the correct time. This has been a bug for quite sometime and I always figured somebody knew about it and was going to fix it. But I guess nobody switches the time format like we did. The dropbox just needs to correctly display the times with AM/PM suffixes. The problem where the person selected an impossible range, I think it means the time is carried over to the next day.

Sure, but you explicitly configured KDE to *NOT* show the am/pm suffixes, so honestly, what do you expect? Cheers, Reinhold
Ah ok it works if you switch the time format to "pH:MM:SS AMPM". Thanks

At least clicking on something in the list should work, but it does not. All you have to do is go by its position in the list. I should improve time parsing in there, it's seems extremely constrained. KSpread's isn't too good either
Now I remember why I turned off AM/PM suffixes for the time format in the first place when I started using KDE 2 years ago! Because now everything with the time takes up more space (the panel clock, date fields in kmail, etc). So I would like to renew my request that the dropdown works even without AM/PM. Thank you in advance.
It's not possible to make it work like you . Imagine you select 2:00 (pm) from the list. Now simply enter "1" in front, so you end up with 12:00. Is that now supposed to be am or pm? If you don't want the am/pm, you need to use 24-hour format to make the interpretation of the input unique, otherwise certain things won't work (korganizer, kalarm, in short, everything where you need to enter a time). We've had this discussion already a few times, and it is and stays a configuration problem. There needs to be a unique interpretation of each time string, relying on other things (like which item was selected, then edited) isn't going to work. We have the same issue also with dates when the year is written in two-digits. E.g. what does a birthday of 01/01/05 mean? Jan 1, 2005? Or 1905? The request to have two formats is in bug 55334. Cheers, Reinhold *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55334 ***
Well, if it even accepted 24 hour formats, that'd be nice. You shouldn't allow it to be configurable such that everything breaks! -Charles
