I'm using without any problem horde on windows now for years.  
Sometimes after an upgrade there is some little problem, but I learned  
to wait and allmost the problem is gone with a next upgrade. Sometimes  
it is blocking and then I use RoundCube as emergency system ;-)
The problem described above is now already for some time in the system  
and upgrades are not fixing the problem.
So I decided to do some debugging.

There is no problem in the static simple view, it only appears in the  
dynamic view.
So I don't understand: don't you use 'locales' in the static simple view?

Can you point me to the code where the object  
'Kronolith.conf.date_format' in the javascript file Kronolith.js is  
initialized.
If I know where to debug I can maybe repair the problem apparently  
appearing only on Windows systems and only in the dynamic view.
