[CLOSED] Odd Calendar Control bug in HTML pages created/saved in 7.6.11 HTML Composer

We only recently updated to 7.6.11 about two months ago, and I've just now noticed an odd glitch on the handful of MR filter pages that we've created/saved in Composer after the 7.6.11 update. Filter pages created in our prior version(s) (7.6.8 and older) do not seem affected.

The glitch:
Almost all of our filter pages have "Begin" and "End" date fields to set the timeframe of the report, which we've all made control type "Calendar" (the little textbox with a calendar icon next to it, that you can either just type in a date, click the icon to pick dates with the little calendar pop-up).

If I first enter a set of dates via the calendar icon and run the report (say 1/1/2010 to 1/31/2010), they'll pass to the report as expected. However, if I then go back to the filter page, and change these dates to, say 2/1/2010 to 2/28/2010--but via typing directly in the textbox instead--when I run the report a second time, the filter page has ignored my typed in dates and again just passes the prior 1/1/2010 - 1/31/2010 values. If I go back to using the calendar icon, it works properly. Alternately, if I never use the calendar icon, and only type in my dates, it works consistently too.

Has anyone else on 7.6.11 encountered this/is able to reproduce this? Any known workarounds?

Welcome to that silly funny bug.
We upgraded to 7.7.1 last week and noticed it.
We opened a case with IBI and they forwarded to product division, but have not got any patch.
Don't know why they have to change the basic functionality and how they passed it with out doing basic unit testing. It is really...

Odd

Is it odd that I couldn't search for the recent post regards to exact calendar control problem in 7.6.11?

Is it odd to find so many old posts regards to calendar control problems?

Confused has odd became a norm? I envy the people live without the HTML painter.

Sorry for off-topic, there is a fix for this release.

Opened a case with IBI and heard back that this bug should be fixed in 7.6.12... although DD's post that it's still present in 7.7.1 is disconcerting.

Hua, are you saying that you've obtained a fix for this in 7.6.11?

Is it contained within "Developer Studio: 7611 HotFix 3", located in the "My Downloads/Shipments" section of http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/ ?

(apologies if I'm a bit dense about this, I tend to stick to report development while my cohorts are more familiar with the software upgrading side of things)

Since it'll be quite awhile before we upgrade to 7.6.12 at our office to confirm if this is fixed in that version as I and Hua were told from the cases we opened, I'm going to mark this [CLOSED] for the time being. (If anyone has 7.6.12 to confirm in the meantime, please don't hesitate to chime in).

Hi Eric/Hua,
Finally we have got the calendar fix from Product team yesterday and is working great.
Thanks to my manager who pushed IBI hard to get us a fix fast. So Please talk to support team.

Thanks,
DD
