The Day/Week/Month view is more complicated than message lists - remembering
the position of the scroll bar is more involved than just remembering which
message was selected last.

>>> Hello,

>>> 1. Set work week to start at 9:00am and end at 6:00pm

>>> 6. Switch to the calendar

>>> Result: calendar view is reset so it starts at 9:00 and early
