The thing is, the screenshot _has_ labeled days. The calendar helpfully labeled February 2 as a Thursday.

That sounds like l10n gone seriously wrong -- maybe they literally wrote something like translation_helper(0) in that header which translates to Monday in $asian language and Sunday in English.

  The bug looks like it occurs because the date picker aligns days/dates from 2017. February and March both begin on a Wednesday in the screenshot. I don't have iOS to test, but if this is the case, a flight for 1st Jan 2020 will incorrectly be aligned under Sunday instead of Wednesday. Pretty poor bug

Not the screenshot I'm looking at from the link. [ADDED: Ah, you have to click through on the twitter image. Yes, it's just flat-out wrong.]

  Click through

  Neither was I, but turns out sturgill is right. If you click on the image in the tweet it expands to a fuller version that shows the calendar is, indeed, totally screwed :-D

    You also fell victim to a broken UI: the one that clips a screenshot and doesn't let you know that there's more to it!

      It's worse then that! Keep in mind that I open all links in a new private windows except for few services for which I stay logged in. On twitter, clicking sometime opens a new link, sometime shows the full version of an image. Trying to right clicking all the time doesn't work, because it doesn't do anything when it is a small image that needs to be disaplayed in its full version - because they change the click behaviour via javascript.

  you need to click it, otherwise it only shows a portion of the screenshot. above "February 2019" there's a menu bar with days on it (which is incorrect).

    Wow, that is extremely bad UI from twitter to crop image like that.

      Twitter is known for horrible UI, so nothing new there.

      Their cropping uses deep learning for the crop[1], but I often notice that screenshots are clipped weirdly. It makes me wonder if their training set was all photographs.

  Are you viewing it cropped or something? There’s definitely weekday labels above the dates.
- johnchristopher 8y ago
  To those confused: the new Twitter UI (you have to opt-in) displays the calendar without cropping.

This, I don't think it's an issue of week-start-conventions.
