Just to add another data point for those still suffering this problem. Reading
the comment history, it seems to me that this bug was raised for one issue
(events being saved with start and end times of midnight) then ended up being
fixed with patch for a somewhat different issue (Australian and Greek locales
converting times from am to pm). I was having the "midnight" problem, and my
fix is a refinement of that posted by safe...@gmx.com above.

I am using the en_CA locale, and my settings were as follows:


System Settings / Personalization
Regional Settings --> Language = 
Region Settings --> Formats --> Region = Canadian English (en_CA)
Region Settings --> Formats --> Detailed Settings --> Time = Canadian English
(en_CA)

All I changed was the Time setting (the last one in the above list) to
'Default', logged out and back in and presto, new events now save at the time
selected.

CLDR's en_AU does not override dateFormatItem Hm in version 29:
https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-29/common/main/en_AU.xml
If KOrganizer has a time issue specific to Australian English, with your Qt
version, I would guess that could be due to the "am/pm" dayPeriod which en_US
overrides to lowercase, unlike en_SE. But I cannot reproduce your issue with
Ubuntu 19.04. I suggest you try reproducing on a fresh install.

They really need to put the wo rd'version' somewhere there :)

If your file is like mine (but it may not, since mine is newer), the Detailed
Description section should contain a paragraph like the following:

betlogbetlog, you can install qt5-doc-html and consult
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtcore/qlocale.html
That will tell you which version of CLDR your QLocale is based on.

TL:DR; if you want ISO datetimestamps in regional settings use en_AU as
default, and (custom) specify en_SE in Time field. This also makes korganizer
work properly (becausue there is no AM or PM).
However there is obviously still an issue with en_AU being set globally, as it
forces AM to be set as PM.

Some time ago I was typing to force systemwide ISO datetime formatting, and did
some tinkering with custom locale files. So the AM->PM issue may be related in
my case. However as far as i know and can see I removed all said tinkering.

Global en_AU is broken when entering AM into korganizer
However the below locale settings works just fine.

user@betlognuc:~$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_AU:en
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=en_SE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=



I wrote this before noticing the match at bottom of list... and see that other
Australians have same issue I had, so I will paste in case the details are
relevant somehow:

SUMMARY
Cannot set event time to AM
Application forces all new events to PM
Particularly annoying because my system is set to ISO 24 hour.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create event
2. type 10:00, 1000, or 10:00 AM
or
3. mouse select and scroll to 10:00 AM

OBSERVED RESULT
10:00 PM is selected

EXPECTED RESULT
10:00 AM should be selected

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
Kubuntu 18.04
KDE Plasma Version: 
5.12.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 
5.44.0
Qt Version: 
5.9.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
kernel version 4.15.0-72-generic 64-bit

Due to another issue (inability to remove a personal calendar.ics) I have
recently uninstalled, purged and apt reinstalled korganizer

Thankyou Filipus for replying.

Here is what appears to be working.

System Settings / Personalization
Regional Settings --> Language = American English (Deleted Canadian English(
Region Settings --> Formats --> Region = Canadian English (en_CA)
Region Settings --> Formats --> Detailed Settings --> Time = Default

--REBOOT--

Now, in following various internet results with the same / similar problem, I
also copied a bunch of locale files, but can't remember from where to where, as
it didn't seem to have any effect and I just continued trying things.

It now appears likely that I will have to abandon my efforts to use KDE apps
despite the apparent success of getting KOrganizer to work. Now KMail is
failing to connect to a pop3 server, receiving the error that SSL needs be
active and it is set to be active in KMail. Not trying to start a new topic,
just adding a sigh that what looks like a great experience is going to be one I
have to miss out.

Thanks again for your note and best of the season to you.

After reboot

No, it means the software defect was solved. If you are experiencing an issue
with KDE Frameworks 5.62, the problem you are experiencing is not this one.

See ticket #409912
But be warned that KOrganizer is not mature software. Expect frustration if you
switch.

I see this is marked as resolved. Does this mean if I reconfigure my desktop to
use American English the problem will go away. Is it good enough to simply
change the Language setting or do I have to change the Region setting in
Formats? If so that means I have to actually start using miles and gallons
instead of km and litres?

Brand new system, Linux retail desktop built by ZAReason, KDW Plasma 5.16.5,
Frameworks 5.62.0, KOrganizer 5.11.3

and if it is not clear, the problem is that every event gets reset to 12:00
a.m. start and end time, not matter how the event is added. My current region
is en-CA or Canadian English, trying to migrate from Thunderbird because I find
the range of KDE apps appealing. Not import anything, just get it to work.

To clarify (according to what I understand from the fixing commit), the faulty
product is not KOrganizer, but actually KDE Frameworks (versions prior to
5.49). Ubuntu 19.04 ships KDE Frameworks 5.56.

Git commit 628c5b1335a21bf2a20ebf0af56dcc113c64c181 by Christoph Feck, on
behalf of Glenn Watson.
Committed on 02/08/2018 at 12:28.
Pushed by cfeck into branch 'master'.

Fix KTimeComboBox input mask for AM/PM times

In some cases, the strings returned from amText() and
pmText() may differ in case to the provided format
in the timeFormatToInputMask method.

This results in an incorrect mask string being provided
to the line edit control.

Instead, detect if the format string uses upper or lower
case for the AM/PM specification, and use this to convert
the am/pm text strings to a consistent case.
FIXED-IN: 5.49.0

Can confirm that the problem with Kontact changing AM times to PM in the

I also have this problem. Note that this also affects the work day times etc.
Go to `Configure Korganizer > Date and Time'. All the times there cannot be set
to AM times either. Switching to US_en is a workaround (but I agree it is not a
very good one if you don't want to use the US's non-standard date scheme
(mm/dd/yy)).

I'm Australian and I think this is a big issue for the credibility of KDE apps
if this issue cannot be solved.
I think KDE is the best D.E. and I'm really enjoying Neon. However it cannot be
used to manage appointments properly, if like me you don't want to have your
computer running American (en_US) time formats.
I'm happy to provide screenshots etc if needed.

Yes. I use myself fr_CH locales and I tried to replicate the problem of the
mentionned manjaro user. all is working fine with fr_CH locales (it use 24H
format), and it also works with en_US (american). When I tried with greek
locales (el_GR) like as the user,  the problem appeared.

Out of curiosity, does the time set correctly using the en_US (American)

That's great to hear! However, I have a feeling that your problem was a little
different to this bug. If it's alright, do you mind doing a little testing? It
would be nice for some external confirmation that this bug is a thing.

Set your time format to Australian time (en_AU), and then try to set a date
using Korganizer, with a start time of 9:00 AM and an end time of 10:00 PM. If
the start time ends up changing to 9:00 PM, then Korganizer is still unable to
properly set times under time formats which are not similar to America's.

If you're willing, you have my thanks.

Ah, apologies - Greece is indeed there, but not in English, so it was difficult

This sounds like a slightly different problem to the bug... Looking at the list
of time formats, I am unable to find Greece. Are you sure you changed the time
format, and not the time zone? I can see Athens in the list of time zones, but
there is no Greece in the time formats.

But just to check, if you open up your Korganizer and click the 'New Event'
button, are you able to select AM and PM times for the start/end configuration?
Try setting a start time of 9:00 AM and an end time of 10:00 PM. If this is the
same bug, then after setting both, the start time would be instead 9:00 PM.

For further reference, switching the time format (on Plasma 5) goes as follows:
System settings -> Regional settings -> Formats -> Detailed settings -> Time =
United States - American English (en_US)

Logging out or rebooting should set the time format.

I have a problem setting the start and times as well. 

Whenever I hit "Apply" or "OK", the times are both reset to 12:00PM. I had the
time format set to Greece and changing it to United States doesn't fix the
problem. The event then usually does not display in the Agenda view as it has
zero duration, but it show in the Month view. 

Some other times, however, it shows in the Agenda view spanning all day long,
eg if I had set the event to be on the 3rd of July, then it will span from
00:00AM to 12:00 PM. I can then resize the event with the graphical handles and
set its starting and ending times correctly. If I then try to re-edit this
event and save, it will break again.

Time format comparison of Ireland and United States

Here's a comparison between Ireland and American time formats. Comparing
between them, Ireland is different in that it seems to use 24-hour time
(similar to Australia) as compared to America's AM/PM time.

It's probable then to infer that the problem with Korganizer lies with the
system's time format. Specifically, 24-hour vs. AM/PM time. Perhaps this even
carries on to mixing up month numbers with day numbers (different arrangement
for Ireland and America) - but that's just speculation.

I'm in the opposite boat actually, switching to Kmail and Korganizer after
discovering this workaround (I found Thunderbird's interface to be too
unresponsive, and did not integrate well with dark themes).

Could you spend a little time reinstalling Korganizer and test if the en_US
time format works? It would be nice for some confirmation that differing time
formats is the problem.

Time Format comparison of Australia and the United States

I've obtained an image of a comparison between Australian (en_AU) and American
(en_US) time formats. Here are the differences that I've noticed.

-US time uses AM/PM notation, whilst AU time uses 24 hour notation
-The day/month/year arrangement is slightly different

Perhaps this is what is causing Korganizer's peculiar behaviour with AM/PM time
entries?

I too have this problem. However, I have found a workaround for the time being,
along with a possible reason for why this is happening. I changed my time
format from Australian (en_AU) to the United States (en_US), and Korganizer now
accepts A.M. times (System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Formats -> Detailed
Settings -> Time -> United States - American English).

It seems that Korganizer relies somewhat on the system's time format/region to
properly determine the events/schedules it creates, and if the region in use is
not American (or similar to it), this causes problems.

What time format are you currently using? Does changing the time format to
United States allow you to set A.M. times?

And vice versa to others, does changing the time format from United States to
Australian (or other different time formats) cause Korganizer's A.M. time
entries to be interpreted as P.M. times?
