However, I found the description of the cause of the problem
troubling: how can time zone calculations interfere with the
entry of a date?
As far as I can tell, Calc does not do any conversion of the date
(or time) as entered--all date/time values in Calc are stored and
displayed as local time.
So why is the time zone setting triggering these effects?
Maybe I misunderstood the developer's explanation.
Most apps that use the date or time use both because 21:03 is not as
specific as 21:03 05/12/06 The former is the exact minute of the
day of any day, any month, any year, but the later is the exact
minute of the day on a specific day, month and year. There is a
more technically correct way to say this. I will leave that to
someone else.
That makes sense, but I'm not sure it explains the situation that led to
the original post. That was a case of someone just entering a simple
date, not a date and a time. If one enters a date alone, does a time
somehow get tacked onto it, but not displayed? To me, that wouldn't make
a lot of sense. Or is there something I'm missing?
