So, I seem to remember that before Panther (or maybe before 1.5.1? I think it's the former, though) not only would the iCal Dock icon display the current date, but it would update day to day. Since I have iCal open almost constantly, this happened every day. Now, this doesn't happen. iCal displays the date when it launches, but then several days later I'll be filling out the date on a paper or something, look down, and realize it's wrong. If I quit iCal and relaunch it, the date then comes up correctly.

For what it's worth, I nearly always have my computer asleep at night. I have no idea if iCal would still roll the date over at midnight. But my computer's sleep schedule was the same previously when this worked right.

Anyone else notice this?

I have the same problem.
The icon always goes back to the 17th.
It'll display the current date for a bit, then, at some point, switch back.
Not sure why.
I thought it used to stay current.
Maybe not?

The date will only change if the program is running (Launched).

True. If it has not been launched since last login/reboot, it will say July (I think) 17. If it has been launched, and then quit, it will continue to show the date of the last time it ran, until you launch it again, when, upon bouncing, it will read the 17th.

But, my problem is with it not advancing even when it's running.
