Hello joelbryan,

Thank you for the bug report, due to the sheer number of reports that Ubuntu receives we usually send reports upstream to be fixed there by the developers of the product, this is what I have done here. As the status gets updated within their bug tracker it will update here.

Thanks again, Alex.

Can confirm on latest Evolution on Hardy (8.04)

Getting this in syslog:

Two errors, not only when setting start date, but also updating description. Very annoying bug.

Seem to be fixed in Intrepid, not sure if fix is backported to Hardy.

Please backport to Hardy, Hardy is LTS! and the bug is really annoying.
