Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
evolution 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 on Hardy does not use the correct timezone
when adding calendar events or displaying reminders. My timezone is set
to America/New_York (-0400, currently in daylight savings). This is
confirmed with 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'. Evolution preferences are
setup to America/New_York. Output of date:
$ date
Tue Aug 5 09:41:48 EDT 2008
$ date -u
Tue Aug 5 13:41:50 UTC 2008
If I am in 'day view' of the evolution calendar, and I double click on
the '12pm' time slot, the Appointment editor dialog displays the time as
'4pm', but the Appointment editor dialog shows the timezone as
'America/New_York'. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I choose
another timezone, the times are always wrong in the appointment editor.
Interestingly, if I double click '12pm', the editor shows '4pm', then if
I don't change the time at all and save the appointment, it shows up in
the calendar as '8pm'. Creating a new calendar and adding a single
event as described (ie double click 12pm, is displays 4pm in edit, save,
displays 8pm in evolution) results in:
