Description Julian G 2009-08-16 16:44:40 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

How to Reproduce:
Korganizer with Kolab resource
Create a new event with timezone e.g. Europe/Vienna
Open event again for editing - timezone is still there
Close Korganizer/Kontact and start it again
Now open the event again
Timezone is gone, it just says UTC, times are properly converted to UTC

Technically this behavour is correct because of the Kolab event storage format, which requires time in UTC and the leading Z indicates UTC, but the usual office user becomes confused and annoyed.

IMHO it would be best to set the timezone defined in korganizer settings.

show UTC incidences in the local time zone, which is especially useful
for Kolab users who see all their incidences in UTC.

Based on a patch from Steffen Hanikel. Thanks!

What if you're not using kolab? In that case all UTC events will be displayed wrong.

They were displayed wrong because of a bug in my configuration. Sorry.
