Was this really a bug?

If you have used Evolution’s Calendar, this might be a regular window for you…

But change the “hours” scheme to a 24 hour format and it would look something like this…

evo-am-pm
Look again at the marked 00’s in the image above - dont they look like a translation error, as if AM/PM strings are being displayed as “00″?
Bug 223210 was filed on the same lines - & after a bit of investigation, it turned out to be a feature rather than a bug!

Actually, these 00’s are the markers for 0th minute (starting of the hour) & since there’s no meaning of the “AM/PM” string in a 24 hour format, these were added as markers.

But really, these markers even confused me at the first & after realizing that this is no bug, but can still confuse others, I came up with this…

The patch which does this is here

BTW, right clicking just near the 00 marker would show you the least used & almost hidden menu! - try it out :)
