(In reply to comment #11) Hi Christopher, It is correct that version 4.0.3 does not have the patch. The patch will be in distributed builds starting with version 4.1. (See 'whiteboard' filed on top of this bug) This bug has been marked as an enhancement and that means that it will be in the first release of a new minor version. The releases 4.0.x are bugfix releases and only contain bugfixes, no enhancements. See also https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan for more information on the release plan.
I quite understand your wish to have this path as soon as possible. I will request that this patch be included in release 4.0.4 on the grounds that it is not really an enhancement and more of a bug fix. As I am confident this bug has been fixed, I set the status back to solved. Feel free to reopen it if you still can reproduce the bug with a build containing the patch.

For example, "Start dates" between "1.1.1958" and "2.28.1958" in the above examples work correctly.
