Okay, now this is a very good explanation of what is going on.  So, once this
gets worked out, the feature will be back in some future version of the
desktop.

Explanations like this and a "Where we're at ..." post on occasion would help
mitigate some of the frustration, I think.

Thanks

However, this is apparently not in KDE's Plasma, this is happening to me in
Xfce.  It seems kOrganizer's problem is when it is in another Desktop, and
possibly when the full KDE desktop has not been installed.

... or, is it?

In the Day view, in the Schedule window, on the left are the times.

At the top of that column, does it show your time zone?  Or, does it show it as
UTC?

If UTC (as it does in my case), then although it seems to put the items at the
"correct time", it is actually saying that schedule is UTC time.

... and, in that case, the UTC time it is running under is actually incorrect
by the same shift as your time zone.

It is interpreting Local time as UTC time.

This is not good, and can cause multiple problems.

Seems actually more appropriate and possibly the central cause.
