Start/due date is set incorrectly

[Francesco Turco]

I'm running Getting Things GNOME 0.3 on a Gentoo Linux system.

Let's suppose I want to add a task with a certain start date (for example today) and a certain due date (for example tomorrow). I noted there's a problem in the following two cases:

1) If I set the start date first (with the mouse or the keyboard, doesn't matter) and then I set the due date (with the keyboard, it's important), the start date is not correctly saved.
2) If I set the due date first (with the mouse or the keyboard, doesn't matter) and then I set the start date (with the keyboard, it's important), the due date is not correctly saved.

Bertrand, Francesco> Could you give me example dates you use for reproducing this bug? I am not able to reproduce it :(

[Francesco Turco (fturco)]

For example you can set start date to 2013-01-01 and due date to 2013-01-02, in this order, both using the keyboard. It will result in a task with a start date incorrectly set in 2012-12-02.

Or you can set due date to 2013-01-02 and start date to 2013-01-01, in this order, both using the keyboard. It will result in a task with a due date incorrectly set in 2013-02-01.

I get the very same results on my computer when following these steps.

Thank you, I can reproduce it now. It is pretty strange :/

Fixed in rev. 1281

FWIW I used the diff of that commit to patch my 0.3 install by hand. Would have liked to see a minor bugfix release to include that kind of thing. If you think this could be useful, I could provide the patched file.

Hi Jean,

We are going to release 0.3.1 in the next week.
It has the patched file, plus many more fixes and a fixed hamster plugin.

Thanks
