Description André Klapper 2006-07-17 12:45:22 UTC 
"adjust for daylight saving time" should be enabled by default.
i was really confused when i saw appointments one hour to early and spend a lot of time to find out what was wrong here; and now they are displayed at the correct time, but all those appointments that i set up while i had not enabled the setting now have that tiny muddled timezone icon.

adding chen to CC. this refers to bug 332911.

i expect billions of bug reports on this if we do not fix this asap - why is my evolution time suddenly wrong? why is my evolution time different from my system time?
FIX THIS. FAST.

Another NEW feature that is DISABLED by DEFAULT?

Sorry for the uppercase, but I have been pointing out issues exactly like this quite often in the past. Without having any look at the code, a good guess is... There most likely either is no shema installed, or the type is set to boolean rather than bool again. Yes, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.


New features *absoluetely* *need* to have a *sane* default. In this case, adjust for daylight saving time. Which apparently is just like it used to be without a setting...

Confirming. Target 2.7. Urgent, critical. Keyword usability.


IMHO this is an Evolution 2.8.0 *blocker*, and probably even a GNOME 2.16.0 blocker. I do expect a hell of a lot of duplicates, since this bug will affect almost any user using the Calendar.

2.7.90. this IS important.
