Description Gale Andrews 2012-07-23 18:03:09 UTC

Although this is only P4 in itself, while bug 561 exists this bug precludes any obvious way of changing the End Date back to today.

See http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561#c1.

REOPENED.

I had already established that reverting r11636 did nothing for the this bug, which I think is long-standing. 

One effect that r11636 did have on Mac / Linux was that the "date picker" control became editable (you could type in it, which had the desired effect where the interdependence wasn't broken). But now having reverted 11636, Linux/Mac users cannot type in the date picker (which here is a text box, not a spin box), so they must use the calendar to change Start or End date.

No need to put that in the comment when the status change is in the Bugzilla notice. No need to yell.

That obviously wasn't clear to me.

If r11636 is irrelevant to this bug, it should not be discussed here, so I moved this thread to bug 561.

This may be a Wx bug and should be researched as such.

Comment 7 Peter Sampson 2017-10-25 14:08:56 UTC

Testing on RC1-4 on
a) W10 Home
b) macOS 10.13 High Sierra

Works for me on both platforms

If this was a Wx bug - it may well have been fixed by our wx upgrades
