Description soren 2006-04-26 16:48:45 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)
Package: Evolution
Severity: Normal
Version: GNOME2.14.0 unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
Synopsis: Calendar entries not displayed at correct hour when from different timezone
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Calendar
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Description:
Description of Problem:
Get a meting invite from somebody using outlook, but are in a different
timezone than yourself, and the block display will show up at the wrong
hour.  However the meeting alarm occurs at the correct hour.   having
people in 3 different timezones make it almost useless to have a look at
the calendar to see if you are supposed to be in a conferrence call or
not.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install linux with timezone = London.
2. Install a windows machine with outlook and timezone = San Fran
3. Send a meeting invite from the San Fran machine to the London machine
for 8am PST (which would be 4pm London time)

Actual Results:
The Calendar block display places the 8PST in the 8London time time slot
rather than in the 4pm London timeslot.

Expected Results:
The invite should show at the 4pm London timeslot.

How often does this happen?
Every time.

Not able to reproduce it. Verified in evolution 2.6.0 works as expecetd. Sent appointment from outlook which is set for 'San Fran' time. Evolution is set to london time. I am able to see appointment at 4PM. Attach meeting.ics file to this bug.

Appointment which should have been for 4PM but was displayed at 8am

I am currently running eveolution 2.6.1, as I upgraded from 2.6.0 to see if that leviated the problem.
