[Bug 1426147] [NEW] timezone changes cause messages to be shown out of order

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Experienced in vivid  r112 on mako.

1. Set receiving phone's timezone to London, England
2. Send "Test 1" message to receiving phone
3. Set receiving phone's timezone to New York, NY
4. Sent "Test 2" message to receiving phone
5. Set receiving phone's timezone to San Francisco, CA
6. Sent "Test 3" message to receiving phone

Expected result: receiving phone should show "Test 1", "Test 2", "Test
3"

Actual result: receiving phone shows "Test 3", "Test 2", "Test 1"

To make matters worse, if there are enough "future" messages to fill the
screen, then newly-sent messages will be inserted in scrollback, giving
no user-visible sign that the message was sent. Then when the user gets
a response, that isn't visible either! Hilarity ensues until the user
realizes the timezone might be to blame and scrolls back. :)
