GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 253124
Preview panel showing start and due times in UTC
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:17 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: In the tasks preview panel the times for the "Start Date:" and "Due Date:" are shown in UTC rather than the timezone selected in evolution settings. Additional Information: Machine Configuration ------------------------------------------------------------------ Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) i386 2.4.20-20.8 evolution1.5-1.5.2.0.200401200731-0.snap.ximian.6.1 evolution-data-server-0.0.5.0.200401200731-0.snap.ximian.6.1 soup-0.7.10-4 libsoup-1.99.28.0.200310211728-0.snap.ximian.6.1 libsoup2.2-2.1.4.0.200401200731-0.snap.ximian.6.1 libgtkhtml3.1_3-3.1.6.0.200401200731-0.snap.ximian.6.1 libgal21-0.23-1 libgal2.0_3-1.99.8-0.ximian.6.3 libgal2.2_0-2.1.3.0.200401200731-0.snap.ximian.6.1 gtkhtml-1.1.8-5 gtkhtml3.0-3.0.9-0.ximian.6.1 gtkhtml3.1-3.1.6.0.200401200731-0.snap.ximian.6.1 gal-0.23-1 pilot-link-0.11.5-4 gnome-pilot-0.1.71-2 gnome-mime-data-2.2.0-1 gtk+-1.2.10-25 gtk2-2.2.1-4 bonobo-1.0.22-4 libbonoboui-2.4.3-0.ximian.6.1 libbonobo-2.4.2-0.ximian.6.2 libgnomecanvas-2.2.0.2-0.ximian.6.2 ORBit2-2.9.5-0.ximian.6.1
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.

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.
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.
Agree. Upping to major.
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.
