Details

Description Paul Rensing 2005-05-15 19:27:59 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 ?

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.
Comment 4 Christian Kirbach 2005-05-15 22:30:40 UTC
Would be very helpful if you could test against the latest Evolution (2.2.x I 
believe)
Comment 5 André Klapper 2005-05-15 22:49:02 UTC
very related to bug 268611
Comment 6 André Klapper 2005-05-17 11:29:49 UTC
