Yes, I noticed that too :(

My system is configured to use en-CA.UTF-8.  I can't actually tell how
short dates are configured: the system sometimes seems to display
things as 11-11-11 and sometimes as Fri 11 Nov (I'm not used to
Ubuntu's new interface, and I haven't played much with it).  I've
configured GnuCash to format dates as ISO dates.  If I could figure
out how to convince Ubuntu's new GUI that it wanted my input, I'd set
it up that way too.

Other interesting facts: If I print the invoice, it (now) has a Due
Date of December 31, 1969 and an Invoice Date of November 1, 2011.
When I search for it, it says it was Opened 2011-11-01 and Posted
2011-11-01 (but the "post" button is still active).  Also, the invoice
shows up as (posted) when selected for printing.  However, it doesn't
show up in the customer report.

I just tried to add a new invoice, and the same behaviour happens.  

I did install a virtual 10.04 LTS and (using the same file) with 2.2.9
it seems to work fine.  The next thing I will try is to install
2.4.latest on that system, and see whether it makes a difference.

Thanks for your help!
