Description Till Schäfer 2013-09-03 12:25:46 UTC 
When creating an event in KOrganizer that starts in timezone A and ends in timezone B, the real duration is calculated depending on the timezones and the event is displayed in local time. However if an event is given that have the same day in the timezones A and B, but the start and End Day is different in local time, the event is displayed as the shortest visual possible duration. It does not span multiple days.

Example: 
Lets have a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles and i live in Germany. The flight starts at 14:00 in Chicago (local time) and ends at 16:25 in Los Angeles (local time) at the same day. The real duration is 4:25 hours. In the German time zone this event would be from 21:00 to 01:25. All this Informations are shown correctly in the info of the event. However the visual representation does not match this information (see screenshot)

Reproducible: Always
