Timeline - false error if point event has Start/earliestEnd/End but no latestStart #378

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a point event
2. Add - in correct calendar order - Start/earliestEnd/End but *no* latestStart
3. Publish to web

What is the expected output?

A labelled point event with a duration tape is expected. The tape is not 
expected to show fuzzy dates (these are reserved for duration tapes) but onle 
start/end dates

What do you see instead?

Both icon and tape are shown correctly. But appended to the end of the event's 
text label is this error message "PROBLEM: latestStart is > earliestEnd".

If the same eventt has the isDuration flag set - making it a duration event - 
and re-published there is no error message shown.

This error message is factually incorrect if the 3 dates supplied are in 
ascending date order.  latestStart is simply not defined.

The Timeline documentation makes no stipulation that if earliestEnd and/or 
latestStart that both must be supplied. Rather it implies that if supplied, 
this data will be ignored by point events.

What version of the product are you using? 

2.3.1 bundle

On what browser and what operating system?

Safari 5.0 (5533.60)

OS 10.5.8
