SOFTWARE VERSION:
1.2009.42-11

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
Set a calendar entry, look at it on the desktop calendar widget

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Date of calendar entry should be shown in the same format as the date setting
from the control panel (in my case DD/MM/YYYY).

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Date is shown in odd MM/DD format.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

Looks like it's rendered from your locale then? My device is set to be
"german", and I get the correct DD/MM setting in the calendar widget on the
Desktop. 

When I set "Language/Region" -> "Regional Settings" (if it is called like that,
the second one, not "Display Language" to English/USA while still have the
Display Language set to German, I still have the same DD/MM setting.

So yes, reproducable - or depending on where the date format can be set -
because I cannot change it at all, I get no dialogue box for that.

This might be related to bug 6363.

Hmm, ok, my apologies, looks like this is actually just a problem with the UK
regional date settings.

Closing as invalid.
