New ical no longer lets you see all-day events without scrolling, can this be changed?

Question

I have lots of all-day events on my ical, just upgraded to from mobileme to ical and the new calendar does not expand all-day events to allow you to see them all without scrolling.  I really need to see all of them without scrolling through them.  This applies to both the weekly & daily views.  Is there a way to change this?  The previous version allowed you to view them all, I don't call this progress.

I understand now - that behavior is annoying under the circumstances you describe, as you clearly want to indicate only a 'delay' in the start date and not necessarily and extension of the end date.
This is one of those human interface things where they may have considered the behavior, and decided that instantly and automatically maintaining the event duration was the best choice, though a savvy programmer could have likely avoided the issue by testing for a duration of > 1, and changing only those cases where the duration was = 1. Durations of < 1 would not exist, by definition, so it would have been an extremely simple conditional test.
I don't think that you are actually being too picky: the case you describe is not necessarily the controlling event type, but is highly likely to be encountered [it seems] and therefore should have been accounted for in the manner I described just above, or by some other similar mechanism.
It's funny how these issues arise: the recently released Entourage single day event definition is different than the one used in iCal, as that team chose to define an all day event as:
2006-03-15 00:00:00 +0000 for start, and
2006-03-16 00:00:00 +0000 to end
While both the iCal event description and the Entourage description might represent the same data points on either a 12 or 24 hour clock, they are clearly not identical, and this 'disconnect' in definitions might cause future problems as both applications push different representations to the truth while describing the same event.
