When trying to add an appointment, the start date changes automatically as I change the end date

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Do you enter the day or use the calendar widget? Does it happen using a C locale?

It happen when I use backspace to delete the date that is in the widget. I now tried to use the calendar widget and that worked so I now have a workaround.

I've now tried to find out a little bit more about the bug, and here is the most interesting thing I found out:
- The bug is triggered by backspacing or deleting the last character in the date number field.
- It is not triggered by overwriting it (with another digit or space)
- It seemslike it works by doing the same thing in the first date field, and then prepending a zero so that a 20, 21 etc becomes 02, and 30 and 31 becomes 03.

BTW, what do you mean by a C locale?

I have posted it to Gnome bugzilla:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434992

thank you for sending the upstream, opening a task for it then
