Alarm occur on GMT instead of local time
Last modified: 2005-07-26 08:52:57 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) Package: Evolution Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.8.0 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc Synopsis: Alarm occur on GMT instead of local time Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Calendar Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Description of Problem: If I import an iCalendar file which specifies appointment times without a time zone, it appears in the GUI window at the correct time, but the alarm dialog box pops up 4 hours early, that is, at the start time in the GMT time zone. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create an iCalendar file with an appointment. Do not include any timezone information. The starttime and endtime would look like: DTSTART:20050515T164000 DTEND:20050515T164500 2. Import it into Evo. 3. Actual Results: Alarm dialog pops up when the time stamp is "now" in GMT. Expected Results: Alarm dialog should pop up based on local time. How often does this happen? Always.

Reporter, do you think this could be related to Bug 238346 or Bug 246480 ?
Created attachment 46466 [details] Appointment which causes bad alarm time
I looked at those bugs, and I don't think they are related. Just for completeness, I am using Evo 2.0.4 on Fedora Core 3. This has been happening for at least a few versions.
Would be very helpful if you could test against the latest Evolution (2.2.x I believe)
very related to bug 268611
sigh... also perhaps also related to bug 266845
