Bug Description
Binary package hint: sunbird
I first reported this bug in Bugzilla (for Sunbird) , before I was told that it could be a problem in the long and short date formats of the system itself. Original bug:
---
If you go to Preferences, and check the "Date Text Format" option, it gives me
two options:
- Long: Sun 8 Mar 2009
- Short: Sunday 08 March 2009
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit Menu >> Preferences >> General Tab
Expected Results:
I believe that this should be
- Short: Sun 8 Mar 2009
- Long: Sunday 08 March 2009

Where is the problem, in Sunbird, my preferences, or Ubuntu? If my preferences, where do I correct them?
Thank you,
Umang

Works fine for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090307 Calendar/1.0pre. The preference dialog shows "Short: 08.03.2009" and "Long: Sonntag, 8. März 2009".
I'd recommend that you update to the latest official release (0.9) and retest. But most probably your system doesn't correctly define the short and long date format and your run into the code at <http:// mxr.mozilla. org/comm- central/ source/ calendar/ base/src/ calDateTimeForm atter.js# 151>. You could try to change the short and long date format for your system and observe the changes in Sunbird.
