Thunderbird: Today Pane Not Updating

Post by aerogems »

Not sure exactly when this started happening, but it's been going on for at least the past couple of minor releases. Currently on 68.2.2 (64-bit) but I know it was happening back in the 62.1.x days as well, maybe even earlier.

The date on the today pane is not automatically updating when the clock hits midnight. I either have to restart Thunderbird or click on the circle button to make it shift to the correct date. So far I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, uninstalling and reinstalling Lightning, and even removing the google calendar I have synced then adding it back. Before I try with a new profile, and have to add all my email accounts again, I was hoping someone might have another suggestion.

@aerogems

Does the highlighted day in the calendar itself update to the next day?

I'm never up past 10:30 pm to see if this works on my computer.

Hi,

I have the same problem, the day in the today pane doesn't move to current day automatically.
