Date form control handles timezones incorrectly
-----------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-3550
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3550
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: Bug
Components: admininterface
Affects Versions: 4.2.2
Environment: tested on ubuntu/jboss - presume it occurs on all
environments.
Reporter: Toby O'Rourke
Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss
When the author is running in UTC but the editor's local machine is running in
a different timezone (I chose GST which is UTC+4 for my testing) the Date
control will use the time from the local machine, but this will be persisted as
UTC.
This means I might choose a date/time of 12:00 11-02-2011 which will be
persisted as 11-02-2011T12:00:00Z. When I next view the content on the local
machine I will see the date/time is 12:00 10-02-2011, as I intended. However,
because this is now UTC and not GST it is actually 4 hours later than I
intended. If I am using the Date control to set startDate in order to delay the
activation of content, that content will be activated 4 hours after the
intended activation time.
