Tim:
Several users have reported and shown my that the calendar suddenly 'comes alive' and starts an animation of descending days. 8(

I have captured a video and shall forward to you when I receive it.

I witnessed it once two weeks ago, but brushed it aside thinking it was just a weird anomaly. However, in the past few days several users have reported it, and the last being a minute ago and I had her video record it and also show that the keyboard was not being touched.

<< Several users have reported and shown my that the calendar suddenly 'comes alive' and starts an animation of descending days. 8( >>

Please explain further what you mean by "descending days".  Is the selected date changing, or is the display of the month/year changing ?

Okay, I've managed to reproduce the issue, which is that the base TRepeatControl isn't making sure to turn off the repeat clicking when the mouse leaves the control.  Therefore, if you click on the left/right arrows in the calendar control but don't release the mouse button, and then move the mouse outside of the bounds of the arrow/calendar, then the repeating will occur forever.

The fix is in the WebCtrls unit:

Add this in the TRepeatControl interface:

  TRepeatControl = class(TControl)
....
        function DoMouseUp(Button: Integer; ShiftKey, CtrlKey, AltKey: Boolean; X,Y: Integer): Boolean; override;
        function DoMouseLeave: Boolean; override; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Add !!
....

Add this in the TRepeatControl implementation:

function TRepeatControl.DoMouseLeave: Boolean;
begin
  UpdateRepeatTimer(False);
  Result:=inherited DoMouseLeave;
end;

That's so cool! Worth having a quick go to see it before the fix is put in. 8-)

Indeed, you can get it to go back and forth by starting it one way, then the other.

I imagine something will eventually blow up, but you may wait a while...

Yes, that is for certain...
