Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.04.5, i386

Well, this bug is not new, it is in Ubuntu for ages and I am surprised it was not fixed yet.

There is a clock in the right upper corner of Unity desktop (indicator-datetime) and when I click the clock, small window with calendar is displayed. On the first click, date marked as current day is wrong, it is date when calendar was opened for the last time (or when the system was started). On the third click (well second click closes calendar), correct day is highlighted.

To repeat this bug, your desktop has to run for more than one day; maybe you can replicate it when you start Ubuntu before midnight and try to check calendar after midnight. On the first click, wrong day in calendar will be highlighted.

One more cosmetic bug:

When I open the calendar on 10 August 2014 and then change month or year, day 10 is always highlighted.
From my point of view, day should be highlighted only on the real current day, when day/month/year match.

Hi psl, this bug is fixed in Ubuntu 13.10 and later. Unfortunately the bug wasn't important enough to backport the fix to Ubuntu 12.04.
