The Evolution calendar opens with the wrong date

[Adnan]

The date on the calendar always goes back to 1st of january 1970 when I reopen the application

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here. This is a regression from Natty. The problem occurs whenever double-clicking a date in the calendar applet. Evolution opens showing the current day's appointments but the calendar in the bottom-left of the Evolution window shows 1 January 1970.

If Evolution is opened manually, the calendar correctly shows the current date. If I then double-click a date in the calendar applet, Evolution switches to 1 January 1970.

Also, as mentioned by Charles on bug 855620, the problem does not occur when clicking "Add Event..." from the applet; Evolution shows the current date.

Opening against indicator-datetime too since the problem may be on that side.

FYI, a work-around is to use View -> Select Today after the calendar opens.

I'm not seeing this behavior.

It looks like it should be trivial to reproduce, so I wonder if I'm missing something in my testing. Adnan or Tristan, could you walk me through exactly the steps I need to follow for this?

[Adnan (kudumovic-adnan)]

Ill explain it step by step:
I click the clock in the right corner then the small calendar appears
then I click a date to add a new event(I dont click the ADD EVENT
button because then everything is OK)
And when Evolution calendar opens the calendar at the left is set to
January 1st 1970
and the thing in the middle is set to Thursday January 1st.

FYI, no longer repros for me in Precise.
