Impossible to make an event that stretches across midnight

[Magnar Strand Olsen]

Binary package hint: lightning

I tried to create a four hour event that lasted from 22:00 to 02:00, but it turned out to be impossible. Lightning would only let me create a two hour event that lastet from 22:00 until midnight.

Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron
Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (20080505)
with Lightning 0.7, Norwegian locale.
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gecko", "Thunderbird-bin"

I can confirm this on 8.10 i386 using :

* thunderbird 2.0.0.19+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1
* lightning-extension 0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

Creating such an event really makes sense. Now, it's up to the developers to decide! Maybe this bug has to be reported upstream?
