[Bug] Incorrect timezone

Open sudo-saif opened this issue 2 years ago • 12 comments

Title: Incorrect timezone

Description: Currently in Egypt, the time shifted to the day light saving timezone, i.e from 2+ GMT to 3+ GMT, but for some reason, the app is stuck at 2+ GMT When I set an alarm to 4 PM for example, it shows the alarm notification at 5 PM at my laptop's time.

Solution: I guess it follows the timezone set by some source on the internet, it should follow my local time on my machine instead.

Thanks for reporting this, @SaifEl-Deen . In theory the application should be taking the local time, I'm going to check this by changing my local time and trying to replicate the error.

It's looks like this is a bug from electron. This one is similar -> https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/20998

I'll open an issue in Electron repository :ok_hand:

Until that, this will keep locked.

@SaifEl-Deen The electron team is trying to reproduce the bug, but they haven't been able to do it on Windows. Just so I can give them more information. What operating system are you using?

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 and I can reproduce it.

@manuelernestog

On windows 10

  1. Set timezone to Cairo +2 GMT
  2. Manually set the time so that it's +1 hour (i.e as if your timezone was +3 GMT but keep your timezone at +2 GMT)

Thanks @SaifEl-Deen I'll let them know :+1:

I'm not sure what you mean by this? Wouldn't this be the problem of the time lag?

@manuelernestog Daylight saving time started a month ago in Egypt where time would be +3 GMT (ex. 4 PM became 5 PM) instead of +2 GMT, but windows doesn't recognize it and sets the time to +2 GMT, so, I have to turn off the automatic time setting ans set the time to be matching with +3 GMT.

@SaifEl-Deen I see. I'm not sure if the guy from Electron maybe have to do something different here is the link with the discussion for if you want to add something there https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/38496#issuecomment-1570391412
