[Desktop-packages] [Bug 752007] Re: javascript toLocaleDateString output format YY-MM-YYYY
Got that new VM created. Works just fine: Ubuntu 11.10 and FF 9.0.1 with latest updates $echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 $ echo $LANGUAGE ## blank ## VERY strong indication that the problem is related to locale information. en_CA fails, en_US works. Anyone have an idea about what 'package' this really belongs with? I could put it under one of the javascript packages instead of firefox, but it really belongs to a lower level. I just do not know which underlying library toLocaleDateString belongs to or calls. I add javascript and locales. Sigh ... Something ELSE that should be in my web application cross browser / cross OS internationalization testing, but is just too big to be reasonable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752007 Title: javascript toLocaleDateString output format YY-MM- Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “javascript-common” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx package: firefox : Firefox 3.6.16 Locale: Lang en_CA echo $LANG en_CA.utf8 echo $LANGUAGE en_CA:en_GB:en_IE: ... no overrides in /etc/environment A sample javascript generated calendar was displaying all of the day numbers as '11'.

With the reminder from other people updating, I retested this. Same issue using Ubuntu 11.10 and FF 9.0.1 with latest updates $echo $LANG en_CA.UTF-8 $ echo $LANGUAGE en_CA:en This is from an 'out of the box' install of Ubuntu to a VirtualBox VM. Since there are so few people noticing, this **really** looks like an issue related to locale en_CA I guess I need to spin up a new Ubuntu VM with alternate settings to confirm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752007 Title: javascript toLocaleDateString output format YY-MM- Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx package: firefox : Firefox 3.6.16 Locale: Lang en_CA echo $LANG en_CA.utf8 echo $LANGUAGE en_CA:en_GB:en_IE: ... no overrides in /etc/environment A sample javascript generated calendar was displaying all of the day numbers as '11'.
