[Bug 1261191] Re: indicator-datetime list evolution calendar all day event a day before actual date of event

 

I have similar behaviour on ubuntu touch since OTA-13 (vivid), but i
don't know if this bug involves also phones or it's another story.
However in my tests (with google calendar) i found this:

a) if i set an event with defined time (eg. from 09:00 am to 10:00 am)
indicator works always as expected;

b) if i add an event for the whole day (one shot) indicator reports
correct date and time 00:00;

c) if i add an event for the whole day yearly repeated (eg. birthday), indicator reports wrong values, always a day ahead, with this particularity:
   - If notification is turned off the time is 00:00;
   - If notification is set (any value), the time is always 02:00 am 

If i tap on the wrong date, calendar opens on (indeed) the wrong date,
which doesn't have events registered, but in calendar and in agenda
events are correctly registered.

Analyzing the ical file for both b) and c) cases, i can see that the
only difference between the two files is the RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY
statement.

ical snippet for case b) is:

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170413
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170414

ical snippet for case c) is:

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170413
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170414

Maybe it's a different case, but i have both DTSTART and DTEND
correctly(?) set. It seems that there is something wrong in parsing the
RRULE statement. I tried also to play with google parameters, but the
only that highlights the problem is the repetition of an event. Doesn't
indicator expects the DTEND closely after DTSTART in the ical file?

Title:
  indicator-datetime list evolution calendar all day event a day before
  actual date of event

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. What is expected

  I add new all day events to evolution calendar (caldav sync with
  owncloud and also local calendar). Evolution shows events just OK and
  indicator-datetime calendar shows correct day as bold as well and
  should also list events below as defined.

  2. What actually happens

  Indicator-datetime lists events to take place one day ahead e.g. all day event on Monday is listed to be happen on Sunday.
