Entourage calendar entry blip after Leopard install

Hi,

I installed Leopard, not sure that was a good move just yet.
When try and set a time for an appointment it does not allow times
that start with 1 or 2 (eg 13:00 or 22:00) it sets the first digit to
0 every time UNLESS I am entering 11:00 in which case it copes. I can
still use the up and down arrows etc. but direct number entry has this
glitch in it.

Any ideas??

I'm seeing the same behavior on my Leopard OS while my system clock is
set to 24-hour format. It's been so long that I've entered time
information in 24-hour format that I don't recall if I could even do it
under Tiger.

Imho it is Leopard that makes a mess of date and time formats.
A lot of applications have another behaviour after upgrading
(Filemaker, Entourage, Lotus Notes, ...)

For me the 24h format has gone as well.

Hope some Apple-guy picks this up and fixes the date & time formats
for the non-native-English (yes they use apples too, don't they)

No guarantees that it will work, but try varying the speed at which you type
'17' (or whatever time you are using) - typing a little more slowly _may_
help.

Just responding to my own assumption. This behavior exists in Tiger as
well, so it's not new to the Leopard install.

But the problem is definitely with Entourage. If the system clock is set
to 24-hour format then Entourage may *display* 24-hour format but it
doesn't allow for *input* in 24-hour format. It even includes the AM and
PM with 24-hour format, which is redundant.

It definitely DIDN'T exist in iger for me.

All I can say is that I reproduced this problem in my Entourage 2004 and
Tiger setup. I'll test again.
