This is reproducible. Steps:

1) Boot ubuntu.
2) Go to calendar (click indicator-datetime). Select a day in the previous or next month (any day works, but this makes a good example).
3) Click indicator again. The clicked date remains highlighted.

The confusion occurs when there is a long duration between 2 and 3: I
forget I've clicked and the highlighted day is NOT today. Personally, I
don't see any reason to preserve the selected day between drop down
events.


(As an aside, Launchpad has a big button that says "Report a bug". It might be worth recommending ubuntu-bug in that workflow if that's the preferred method for bug reporting.  Thanks for your help and I'll use ubuntu-bug next time.)

Title:
  current date not highlighted/wrong date highlighted

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.10, x86_64, indicator-datetime 13.10.0+13.10.20131023.

  indicator-datetime provides *no highlighting at all* for the current
  date. Worse, it provides faint highlighting for a different date (the
  date I logged in?). See attached screenshot.

  This is related to to several other bugs (below), but the other issues
  are apx 2 years old and appear to be inactive.

  Implications and related UI issues:
  - It is too easy for a user to interpret the faint highlighting as today's date.
  - If another day has previously been clicked (even days earlier), it remains highlighted. Users will likely expect that the highlighting corresponds to today's date, not that of a click days earlier.
  - The lack of a "go to today" button makes it very difficult to focus the date for common use cases (What's today's date? What am I doing today? Tomorrow?)
