Description Robert Elves CLA 2006-04-10 13:19:35 EDT
Layout of date picker (task info editor) needs to be improved as can be seen in the attached screenshot. It appears as though the layout is not scaling properly.

Screenshot of Date chooser popup with the Estonian locale

The date chooser doesn't seem to play well with some locales, like Estonian. It has "wider" short names for days.

Screenshot of Date chooser popup without highlighting the day

In the Date chooser, the current day is not highlighted, only the current time.

Even if I click on a day entry, I do not see it. I have to look at the resulting date in the "Scheduled for" entry to see whether I picked the correct day.
This is quite annoying.

This is working with Debian 3.1 (sarge) and standard X11 setup (XFree86, GTK+ libs).

This makes me think it may be related to bug 176716: Task colors are not displayed
because it does work for the setup where the Task colors are not displayed.

Rob, could you test this with Kubuntu Edgy and/or Eclipse 3.3?

Please update the wiki if this solves the issue:

Thanks a lot, Jörg

I have tested with edgy and Eclipse 3.2 and 3.3, and both version of Eclipse work properly with the dat picker.  I will update the wiki to relect this.
Comment 7 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-04-09 20:34:59 EDT
Mylar 2.0M2 uses the native date picker (Eclipse 3.3 only).
