GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315235
Exchange meeting requests received with wrong time request
Last modified: 2006-05-11 10:01:38 UTC
Please describe the problem: When receiving meeting request from exchange the request is shown with incorrect time request. Example: Sending Meeting request in outlook for 15:00 - 15:30 will result in evolution showing a request to 16:00 - 16:30 (both in meeting request e-mail and calendar). (I'm attaching meeting.ics of this example) Information I Gathered: 1. Outlooks is sending the request in Israel (Jerusalem) timezone. 2. Viewing meeting.ics shows Harare/Pretoria timezone. 3. Evolution timezone is Jerusalem. Both timezones are GMT+2 and in normal scenario the problem will not be shown but Israel is now in Summer Clock, which means +1. Is the meeting.ics is something evolution received or it might be processed before showing it and by that causing the bug? regardless of the full solution, can there be a toggle to disable meeting requests timezone adjustments? I believe that 99% of the cases (especially for usual company usage) I'm using 2.3.8 but i encountered the problem also on 2.2 branch. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Created attachment 51786 [details] meeting.ics
changing component to connector.
any chance someone is looking over this bug? it's easily reproducable and reallyannoying bug...???
Chen, can we look at this?
Looks exactly like #332911 too me. The problem is not specific to the Connector, although it is more of a problem there because all calendar entries from Outlook will have time zones that Evolution does not understand.
The problem is evolution seems to ignore the daylight savings. Both israel,jerusalem and harare,pretoria have an offset of +2:00 w.r.t GMT. So outlook sends the jerusalem timezone in the ics file instead of harare,pretoria. This is what i observerd while trying to reproduce it, 1) Created an appointment in outlook with timezone harare, pretoria. When received in evolution the timezone was israel,jerusalem. 2) Created an appointment in outlook with timezone israel,jerusalem. When received in evolution the timezone was israel, jerusalem.
