[Bug 1527848] [NEW] Indicator-Datetime always shows UTC time for any online calendar added to evolution

 

Public bug reported:

My timezone is set to GMT+5:30 (Kolkata, India) from indicator datetime
settings. But when I add a online google calendar in Evolution, events
(which has start time and end time) are appearing as UTC  time. However
in evolution, its all nice and evolution does respect my timezone.

How to reproduce:

1. Set google calendar timezone to match your timezone from google
calendar settings (web).

2. From web interface, add a event with time into that calendar. Then
copy its private ical address.

3. Open evolution. Add that calendar from new->calendar->on the web.

4. reboot.

What should happen?

If a event starts from 5 PM, indicator-datetime should reflect that.

What is happening?

indicator-datetime shows every event starting at UTC time; i.e, in my
case 5.30 hours behind!

Note: It seems it only happens for online calendars. Locally created
events are ok.
