Synopsis: Dates for repeated events can be incorrect
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Calendar
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Description:
Description of Problem:
When viewing a calender that is an .ics file with dates stored in UTC,
the date of a repeated object can differ if the offset for the local
timzone causes the event to begin on a different local date than its
UTC
date.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set Evolution's timezone to America/New_York (UTC -5 hours)
2. Create an iCal file with an event that begins on a Friday at 12:30
am
UTC and repeats every Friday
3. Import the calendar file into Evolution

Actual Results:
Initial event displays as 7:30 pm on Thursday, as expected.
Subsequent repetitions display as 7:30 pm on Wednesday

Expected Results:
Repeated events should occur on Thursday.

How often does this happen?
Always
