Calendar saves appoints to February instead of October

When I edit an appointment on my calendar and save it, the dates are changed to February. (And I get a warning that I am scheduled an event in the past.)

When I create an appointment by clicking and dragging on the calendar itself, I do not have this problem. When I create an appointment using a dialogue box and then save, the dates are set to February.

Any and all help appreciated. This is making the calendar pretty much worthless to me.

When you enter the date exactly how to you enter? I found that if I enter a
birth date into the Address Book with a period after the month, I get the
same behavior you are describing.

6 Oct 1958 is fine, 6 Oct. 1958 is not.

Let me know if this is what is happening to you and I'll amend the bug on
this to include the calendar.

You are very observant. I had customized my date format to day-of-week DD-MONTH-YYYY. I went to System Preferences and set it to a standard format (US Region) and the calendar works fine.

Great catch.

Great catch.

There have been several gotchas with the System Preferences date & time
settings. Glad this worked.
