#20157: Don't force timezone=UTC when creating new calendar events ---------------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: infinity0 | Owner: sukhbir Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/TorBirdy | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ---------------------------------------+--------------------- Currently, TorBirdy sets the Thunderbird internal timezone to UTC to avoid leaking the user's location when sending emails. However, this carries through to the Calendar functionality [1] and now when I create a new event it defaults to Europe/London timezone.
For usability, this should still be in the user's own local timezone - I think there is not much security value in forcing this to UTC for everyone since you're already trusting your calendar provider with quite a lot of information. (Or at least default to local tz, and allow the user to explicitly override it to UTC.) [1] This was integrated into recent Thunderbird versions, you should be able to see it in your "add-ons", as either "Lightning" or "Iceowl" (Debian). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20157> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
