ICal 5.0 double click in date box (month view) doesn't create 1 hour long event anymore

Question

Double-clicking in a date box in the "month" view used to create a new one hour long event.
Now, in 5.0 it creates an all-day event by default, and removing "all-day" results in a 6 hour long event. Anyone know how to get it back to the "old" way? really annoying to have to change it each and every time! Thanks.

Lisa,
Here are some of the iCal event creation rules which may help you:
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.
For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.
