Hi all!

I'm on a US system. (And I double-checked that my date/time/
international settings are all US).

I'm trying to clean up some small address/calendar issues. I've been
updating my relatives' birthdays, and some of them (thank goodness)
have achieved a respectable age.

Entering my grandfather's birthday in his address book card changes
the date automatically as soon as I tab out of the birthday field. The
date I'm trying to enter: 4/8/1918 switches to 4/8/1920.

If I enter a recurring event on the calendar, the date does the same
thing.

Also, even though the date then reads 4/8/1920 on the calendar entry,
trying to edit the recurrence gives me the option to have it recur
every 4/7.

If I click on the little calendar icon to graphically change the date,
even though the date in the text box reads 4/8/1920, the highlighted
date on the mini-calendar is 4/7/1920.

If I use the mini-calendar to scroll back to the correct 4/8/1918
date, everything appears to enter properly, but as soon as I click in
another area of the window--bam, back to 4/8/1920.

It may be unrelated, but the little reminder window then reminds me
that I missed the event on 4/7, even though on the main calendar
window, the event shows as happening on 4/8.

I had similar problems with several other events...particularly the
reminder window being 1 day early.

Anybody have ideas of things to check? Bugs? Problem existing between
chair and keyboard?

Thanks!
Brad

Known bug. I enter the correct date in the Notes filed under the Other Tab.
