#1362 date/time picker issues: escape and letters for A/P

Tested under GNU/Linux, but assuming similar for others.

ESCAPE should have the calendar or time pop-up options close so we're back to just entering without the popup. At present, ESCAPE is not functional at all, so if the calendar popup is active, there's no way to leave the editor window without first pressing TAB to leave the date field.
Should allow the letters A and P to change the AM/PM value when that part of the time is active.

A fix was made and checked into the source code repository of Task Coach. The fix will be part of the next release. You will get another notification when that release is available with the request to install the new release and confirm that your issue has indeed been fixed.

If you like, you can download a recent build from http://www.fraca7.net/TaskCoach-packages/latest_bugfixes.py to test the fix.

Because a fix has been made for this bug report, the priority of this report has been lowered to 1 and its resolution has been set to 'Fixed'.
Thanks, Task Coach development team

Hi, it's many years later, and as I close this old resolved ticket, I'm excited to tell you that https://github.com/taskcoach/taskcoach now has updated Python3 Task Coach codebase! Packages are available for some common Linux systems and we can add more.

We'd love to have you test the updated program

Cheers
