Screenshot of the problem.

I have a problem with displaying the correct starting and ending times of events of a calendar. I added that calendar to evolution-data-server as a remote calendar "On The Web". The calendar does not attach a particular timezone to the events.

In the application evolution itself, the dates are displayed correctly,
however both in the top bar of gnome-shell and in gnome-calendar, the
same date is diplayed 2 hours off for all appointments of this calendar.
For example, an appointment that starts at 13:00 is displayed to start at
15:00.

Hi Jay, thanks for your bug report.
Does this problem still happens?
Which gnome-calendar version are you using?
Thanks.
Comment 2 Jay Strict 2016-10-20 10:48:05 UTC
Hi Isaque, yes, this problem still exists.
Currently, I am using gnome-calendar 3.22.1

Hi Jay. Can you post an example of an ICS calendar with this issue? I'm struggling to reproduce this one.

Maybe a test case

Maybe the file looked something like this. I don't know anymore, since my original bug report is 12 months old.

Can you confirm this is still happening on GNOME Calendar 3.24?
Comment 6 Jay Strict 2017-04-29 13:47:23 UTC
Yes, this is still happening with GNOME Calendar 3.24.1
Comment 7 Stephen 2017-08-11 14:12:56 UTC
I think I've probably just dup'ed this bug here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786155

Calendar wrongly interprets floating time as UTC.
