Hi @miklcct ! Thank you for your bug report! One more detail: in the settings for "select display of time with timezone", which option did you choose?

I chose both

Okay, thank you! Would you expect to see also both times in the Widget?

Same here. No matter which option is selected, the widget displays due dates in UTC time zone. (Which is, in my case, not the device's time zone).

thanks @miklcct @duerrhannes Indeed the implementation is not correct there. I will provide a fix soon. I will change it in a way, so that the widget shows the same as the app (also with the text).

The one question remains, when you choose to show both times (just because myself I'm also not sure what to do with that case) - would you like to see both dates/times in the local and in the given timezone or just one of them?

[patrickunterwegs]

Sorry, my question is also kind of obsolete, I will just do the same as in the list view for now (where the local time is shown)

It seems that the time is still wrong with a recurring task at UTC+8, device in UTC+1, version 2.7.2

Hi @miklcct , thank you for the update. You mean it's still wrong in general or specifically when you have a recurring task?

I can't try it out yet as my widget is filled with other tasks.

[patrickunterwegs]

Could you attach one of your problematic entries as an exported .ics file? I just tried to reproduce the issue, but for me it is the expected behavior. The widget shows the time in the local timezone (ie. the time in the timezone of the device).
