I confirm. If the Filter by Start Date is empty, then the calendar
defaults to the current date. But then I selected 9/15/09 as my
"From:" start date and left my "To:" start date empty. I could change
those start dates and the calendar drop-down would still be defaulted
to the current date. But if I saved the settings, exited MLO, and then
re-opened MLO, then the calendar drop-down defaulted October 2007 for
the "From" start date filter. The "To:" start date filter calendar
drop-down still defaulted to the correct current date.
It seems the problem (October 2007 calendar drop-down) only occurs
when Start Date filter is not empty and you exit and re-open MLO. At
least, that was my experience.
