#16821 — Date format for calendar events.

I'm lost.   I have two profiles on my laptop.   One has my userchrome.css one doesn't.
The one with it, shows dates like 04:45 PM
The one without it, shows date like 4:45 PM

Now you're going to say that it's something in my CSS, but I've renamed that file so it 
won't kick in, and no change.

I found in prefs.js,  user_pref("calendar.date.format", 1);
but both are set that way too.

They are both on the same system, same user, so it's not like I'm running one in en_US and 
the other in en_GB or something that might have a diff date format.
I looked in settings and they are both set for short form date.

I'm lost, anyone have any good ideas.

Wow, what a hidden setting.
	intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short
it was set hh:mm a        2 digit hour
setting it to   h:mm a    1 digit hour and it works.   Make a note folks.

Yep, info is here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-date-time-formats-thunderbird
Besides this it shouldn'd have to do with userChrome.css. If ever it
*could* be a setting in the userContent.css, because it is content - not
chrome.
(And mark the correct upper and lower case spelling of these files.)

Whatever.. if you want to pin this down you can add it to your user.js
file:
user_pref("intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short", "h:mm a");

I have a few others in that user.js file.  Some of those that always elude you.
Thanks.
