Comment 1 Malcolm Tredinnick 2004-04-07 02:01:20 UTC 
With version 1.5.6 (really a CVS build from 5 April 2004), I am seeing
the opposite behaviour to this. My timezone is UTC + 10 (Sydney,
Australia).

If I enter a task that is due at 18:30 on 7 April, it shows up in the
previous panel as due at 04:30 on 9 April. So it is like Evolution is
adding my time zone offset to the time, even though I am already
entering times in the local time zone.

Comment 4 Malcolm Tredinnick 2004-04-08 01:18:56 UTC 
Urgh! Slight error in my report: the displayed date is April 8 (not
April 9). Evo really is only adding ten hours to the actual time.
Comment 5 Luis Villa 2004-04-08 05:19:21 UTC 
I'll again note that I think this is more severe than indicated, since
it makes any webcal that actually does something more specific than
all-day events basically useless.
Comment 6 Gerardo Marin 2004-04-08 07:18:44 UTC 
Agree. Upping to major.
Comment 7 Max Kanat-Alexander 2009-08-21 03:17:41 UTC 
This bug was marked RESOLVED without a resolution, which Bugzilla does not allow (and so I am fixing it). It is assumed that the bug was intended to be marked as FIXED. If the bug should have some other resolution, please change its resolution.
