A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/pim/kcalutils/-/merge_requests/28 Git commit fb00f08d56b65c63541af204a77322a77600f6ee by Daniel Vrátil. Committed on 24/08/2023 at 18:17. Pushed by dvratil into branch 'release/23.08'. IncidenceFormatter: fix start/end dt of recurrent event crossing DST This fixes a particular case when a recurrent event is created during DST but a subsequent recurrence occurs after DST ends. The formatter would still show the start/end time of the occurrence as if the DST still applied. This is best noticed when system timezone does not observe DST, but the displayed incidence from a timezone uses DST. This change replaces a custom (broken) algorithm by the one provided by KCalendarCore to obtain start/end datetime of an incidence on a particular date, which is actually correct.

Created attachment 152677 [details] Screenshot showing the incorrect meeting time being displayed, and discrepancy versus the month view. SUMMARY I missed a company meeting because Korganizer did not show me the correct time for New Zealand while I am based in Malaysia. Checking my online calendar hosted at Fastmail does however show the correct time. To test that it is a problem with the app and not a service provider, I requested my invitation to the meeting to be resent, and it still shows the incorrect time. Upon closer observation of what is written versus what is shown in the monthly view however, it seems the time is placed correctly, but not in writing. Please check the attached screenshot to see that in writing, it is the incorrect time that does not account for DST, and the month view that does. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Receive invitation from country with DST to a country without DST OBSERVED RESULT Time not correctly synced in the written out view. On closer observation, discrepancy can be seen in the month view on the right. EXPECTED RESULT Time to be correctly synced across all calendars. CalDav host (Fastmail in this case) shows the correct time.
