notice timestamp still display the original timestamp from UTC-4 (09:05:42)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set system timezone to America/New_York (UTC-4).
2. Open LibreOffice and create a new document in Writer.
3. Save the document in format you wish to test
4. Close LibreOffice.
5. Change the system timezone to Africa/Cairo (UTC+2).
6. Open the saved documents and check their timestamps in File > Properties >
General tab.
Observed Behavior:
- Some formats (e.g., .odt, .docx, .rtf, .html) still display the original
timestamp from UTC-4 instead of adjusting to UTC+2.
- Some formats show 00:00:00 instead of the correct timestamps.
- Templates (.ott) replace the original creation timestamp with the current
system time.
- Only Word 97-2003 (.doc) correctly converted 09:00 → 15:00 based on the
timezone change.
Expected Behavior:
LibreOffice should store timestamps in UTC and adjust the displayed time based
on the system’s current timezone.
