hello,
please have look at the attached example. if you go to the timestamp control and change the date (year) with the curser pressed continuously, at some point the time string indicator stoppes indicating the time value of the timestamp control but rather starts jumping in value ! interesstingly, this behaviour does not happen once one changes day or month of the control. is this some kind of bug?
using labview 2011

The problem is with 'different display format'.
When you are using the built-in 'add' function it is expecting similar 'Time format'.
It is not intelligent to understand the 'Advance Edit Settings' in Display property.
Suggestions.
Use similar 'Time Format' in both inputs of Add function.
I am not sure about 'This is a bug?'
I will say - No

I think I understand what you're talking about. It looks like if you select one field of a timestamp control and use the inc/dec buttons to change it (and hold them down), LV adds a constant number of seconds for it. This does happen in the month too and it's actually easier to see, because it looks like for the years this is only visible for leap years which should have more seconds.
I would definitely call this a bug, if only because the behavior is different from a single click. Here's a video demonstrating it:

I would definitely call this a bug. Because, I am not getting consistent in outputs/behavior.

Perhaps make a service request to make sure it enters NI's systems.

Hey,
Good catch! This definitely looks like a bug to me. I am going to go ahead and file a report. Thanks for the heads up!

For everyones information the behavior of date's day changing when holding down the increment or decrement buttons is a bug. Like tst shows in the video, clicking repeatedly on the buttons is a work around that will not show the same behavior.
CAR 377541 has been filed and will be used to track the progress of fixing this problem. I appologize for any inconvience it has caused.
