Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid (development branch)
Evolution 2.24.0
I expected the date and time to be displayed throughout the application
in a format that reflects my locale settings.
Instead, the date and time in the fields described in the summary (and
possibly elsewhere) are incorrectly displayed as Mmm DD in Mail or
MM/DD/YYYY in Calendars when my locale is English GB (I would expect DD
Mmm or DD/MM/YYYY).
Similarly the time is displayed as H:MM AM/PM, again not matching my
local preferences.
If the date time fields are to display values in a different format to
the rest of Gnome then the user should be able to specify that format in
the Evolution preferences. The only option currently is the option for
12/24 hour time display, which is ignored anyway in this case!
Finally, the display of date and time is inconsistent throughout the
application.
