GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563255
Time is wrong sync with Google Calendar
Last modified: 2008-12-30 13:28:20 UTC
Please describe the problem: Every time an event is created in Evolution Calendar that's sync with Google Calendar, the event is show properly in Evolution, but on Google Calendar the time is shifted around 6 hours before. I'm in Ecuador with -5 time zone. There isn't any daylight saving here, so that shouldn't be a problem. If an event is created in Google Calendar, the time is shown properly in Evolution. Steps to reproduce: 1. Setup a Google Calendar account in Evolution, and make it your only calendar. 2. Create an event in Evolution, any type of event. Check that the time is displayed properly on Evolution 3. Check the Google Calendar and see the time of the recent created event. The time is shifted some hours before Actual results: You can see the wrong behavior of the sync process between Evolution and Google Calendar Expected results: What should happen is that the time in Evolution and Google Calendar should be the same, not shifted. Does this happen every time? Every time it happens Other information: I don't know if it's a bug in Evolution, the plugin or maybe in Gnome, how time zone are handle. It's a really weird bug, since it only happens one way (Evolution to Google), but the way (Google-Evolution) works fine.
I can confirm this. I'm in PST which has a -8 time zone (set on both my computer and Google Calendar account) and events appear 3 hours early in Google Calendar if I create them through Evolution. I'm using Evolution 2.24.2 running on Ubuntu Intrepid 32-bit.
