Folks who've tried this build - Is the minimize-restore bug fixed on 2003-03-10?

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163372

The bug description says it might be, but i'm too chicken to try out 2003-03-10 yet.

Unfortunately, it has the flashing problem as it loads a page, so I switched back to the 04-03-03 build. Any different experiences or bug reports for any of you other bleeding edge types?

What the heck is that ^ date format?

dd-mm-yy?

Can we agree to use the standard (yyyy-mm-dd) format instead of the European or U.S. style? When I see 08-03-03, I have no idea whether it's August 3, 2003, March 8, 2003, or March 3, 2008, and I don't want to have to get it fom the context.

I'll drink to that. I used whatever bastard European style I did just because I looked around and saw more people using that format than anything else. Personally, I prefer d/m/yy, but then that confuses everyone outside the US. :)

So, I'm looking forward to the *2003-03-11* build since the comments for the flashy bug seem to indicate that a fix was created and an attachment posted. Of course, it may not get checked in tonight, though. Here's hoping....

The decision for the yyyy-mm-dd - convention has been taken a few days / week ago in another nightly-build thread but since always new folks step in (which is btw a good thing ;) ) this would not be the last thread with confusing date formats, I guess... ;)

Nevertheless one might add a sticky thread to this forum containing some rules special for _this_ "Px build" forum, e.g. the used date format - but on the other hand this date format is not "special" to this forum, but should be used in all other forums, too... So either keep on dealing with confusing date formats or finding another soution for this... :)

Anyone know where I can get a copy of 03-04, I made the mistake of overwriting it w/ 03-11.

We have a similar problem with SQL date format, where the standard is yyyy-mm-dd but a lot of users naturally put in date in dd-mm-yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy format and get rejected for incompatible format. :(

Actually I think you are the person confused. In US you use m/d/yy which is extremly inlogical.

d/m/yy is at least logical (smaller to larger) but my prefered is (yy)yy-mm-dd (larger to smaller).

m/d/yy is large to small to large, which is a compleatly insane way to write it.
Eg noone writes twohundred-fifty-three as

532 (equivalent to the US m/d/yy date format)
but
253 (larger to smaller)
or
253 (smaller to larger, if you are an arab and write RtL)

Yeah, that was my bad. I got all confused looking at the various date formats, so of course, I had a brain lock. What I meant was m/d/yy as what was used in the US and my preferred method of writing out the date.
