45.0. "Bug in Preferences DATE setting" by COOKIE::WECKER (Dave L.I.P.S. Wecker) Sun Jun 08 1986 03:01

Has anyone noticed that when you set the date in Preferences, exit and come
back in (via a SAVE or USE) that the date is now set to one day less than you
set it to???

DATE from CLI works fine....

45.1You Got It!ERLANG::FEHSKENSMon Jun 09 1986 13:206
    Yes, that's real.  I routinely set the date to "this time tomorrow"
    to get around it.  And I've also confirmed that it's NOT a problem
    with DATE from CLI.

45.2Off by one in preferencesNSSG::SULLIVANSteven E. SullivanTue Nov 15 1988 13:0214
The off by one date bug seems to have been fixed in 1.3, but a new
"off by one" bug has appeared!

    If  one  is  using 1.3 preferences and setting the seconds of the
time value there is a problem  selecting  the  1's  or  10's  of  the
seconds.  Specifically,  if  one  clicks  on the ones column and then
clicks the up/down gadget the tens column changes. If one clicks  the
10's  column  whatever  was  last  selected  remains selected. If one
clicks one character position to the right of the 1's column then the
ones are selected.

    Oops! off by one! Guess that person must have been a programmer!
