Hi,

I've found a bug that causes to display wrong text in the notification text in the "Task reminder" popup - it displays a wrong time frame for the popup, i.e. when the reminder is set to 5 days before the due date, when the time comes, the text says that it is 5 hours till the due date; another example: when the reminder is set for 12 hours, instead of telling me it's 12 hours till the deadline, it shows that the task is due now.

I've checked this behaviour both in 7.1.3 and 7.2 versions, on Windows 10 and Manjaro 17 - they all have the same issue.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set a reminder for a task for x hours or y days before the task is due
2. Set the due date for the task for x hours or y days in the future
3. Wait 1 minute for the popup to display
4. The notification text displays an incorrect timeframe for the reminder

Hi Dan,

Here your go:
1. Attachment TDL_bug_hours.png shows situation when I set the task due date to 5 days in the future and set the reminder to pop up when the task is due in 5 days - the pop up shows that the task will be due in a little less than 5 hours.
2. Attachment TDL_bug_now.png shows situation when I set the task due date to 12 hours in the future and set the reminder to pop up when the task is due in 12 hours - the pop up shows that the task is due now.

Br,
Piotr

Done. That's why I couldn't see that post in the bugs section :-)

Hi Piotr

I have fixed this in 7.2.DP9.

If you can try it out and it is now correct I will also merge the changes to 7.1.

Tested few combinations and it seems fixed.

I only don't know what is the correct presentation of time, ie. when the task is due in nearly 3 days, the pop up shows that the task will be due in 68 hours but not in 2 days and 20 hours which might be more intuitive.

Yes, I noticed that too. Will get it changed for 7.2.
