GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 509261
Scheduled Transaction calendar starts with wrong month
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:59:16 UTC
Please describe the problem: The Scheduled transaction calendar starts with the wrong month when I first open it up. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a file that has existing SX 2. The calendar always displays with the next month, not the current one 3. If I continue to click around, it will reset and show the correct month Actual results: Expected results: I expect the current month to be the first one listed. Does this happen every time? Only the first time I open the Scheduled Transaction editor. Other information:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491728 is related to this bug as well, where Russell points out that the date to start the calendar is determined by the date of the last entered scheduled transaction (open then click OK on your earliest scheduled transaction and the calendar will start where you want it). I tracked the cause down in the svn (details in the aforementioned bug report). I think the best fix is to keep the start of the calendar the current date, regardless of when the next scheduled transaction occurs (it's a bad implementation that tries to set the calendar start date to the date of the next scheduled transaction that is causing this bug). Developers' thoughts? This can easily fixed, and it's really be annoying me since starting to use scheduled transactions regularly. Cheers, Jason
