Birthdays show relative to UTC
Last modified: 2004-06-24 18:48:50 UTC
Description of Problem: The birthdays from the Contacts all begin at 2am and end at 2am the next day, i.e. for each birthday I have two "all day events" in my calendar. It seems that it's 2am because I have my timezone set to "Europe/Berlin" and birthdays seem to be UTC. If I change my timezone to "Australia/Darwin", birthdays begin and end at 0930. However, I haven't found an option to (a) assign a timezone to birthdays or (b) say that birthdays are relative to my chosen timezone Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a contact with birthday 23/06/2004 2. In Calendar, select the calendar Contacts > Birthdays & Anniversaries to display 3. Select timezone to be "Europe/Berlin" Actual Results: The birthday shows as an event beginning 23/06/2004 02:00 ending 24/06/2004 02:00. The calendar widget on the right highlights both 23/06/2004 and 24/06/2004. Expected Results: The birthday shows as an event beginning 23/06/2004 00:00 ending 23/06/2004 24:00. The calendar widget on the right highlights only 23/06/2004. How often does this happen? always
