I was adding prayers to a prayer list in which prayers repeat annually. However, what appears to be the work flow does not work.
1. Add the prayer; click on frequency changing day to year; click on starting to bring up the calendar and select 1/5/2011. Note the prayer date has not changed. Close and the prayer is still set to the entry (today's) date.

2. this works: switch to year. Click on date and navigate to the desired date. Now the prayer date with change correctly.

This pattern 1 doesn't work, 2 does work is consistent.
