I think it should be possible to make this the default event length. Right now the options in preferences does not allow this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to edit>preferences>calendar Actual Results: default event length box only allows minutes input Expected Results: somehow all day should be allowed. it might not be a bad idea to stick a full blown time-chooser widget in there.
This is fixed in the latest XPIs. If you make a new event all day, the next time you make a new event, it will be an all day event. This was done a little while ago.

well, while it is true that there is a way to make all day the default, shouldn't this be reflected in the preferences?
This seems to be broken in the June 22 2004 build for thunderbird. Objections to me reopening?

I've got some time off for the holidays. Would there be an objection to me adding a little switch so that if the input eventlength = 0 or -1, calendar uses "all day"? Right now if I put in -1 for my event length, the event dialog accepts an event that ends before it starts. I'm not a pro mozilla programmer but I think I could handle this if I could find the right part of code.

When I set a new event to "all day event," it does not default to "all day event" for the next event. I have to manually set it to "all day event" every time, which is a pain. I wish there was a way to set "all day event" to default.
Agreed. I also voted for this enhancement but it lies dormant.
