Description Gunter Ohrner 2016-07-26 14:57:13 UTC
Outlook invitations like the one I attached are displayed with the incident's time shifted by one hour. (We're currently in Central European DST.)

If I accept the invitation, the calendar entry in kOrganizer is correct, also my phone import the invitation correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Attach this file to a mail you send to youself with "suggest inline display" enabled.

kMail will pretty-print the invitation, but display 3pm to 4pm instead of 2pm to 3pm as the incident's time.

For me, the pretty printed result looks as follows:

Sie haben von orga@example.com eine Einladung erhalten.

Screenshot showing wrong displayed time.

The attached screenshot shows my kMail displaying the example invitation, showing the wrong time. kOrganizer correctly imports the incident, however.

The KDE installation used is the one delivered with Kubuntu 16.04:

Version 5.1.3
Unter:
KDE Frameworks 5.18.0
Qt 5.5.1 (kompiliert gegen 5.5.1)
Das xcb Fenstersystem

I don't know if there is any more recent pre-compiled package available - I'd try it if there is and if it works well enough to be usable.

KDE Neon does not include KDE PIM so far, does it?

Is there any additional information about my system that might be helpful in tracking this issue down?

Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you!
Comment 5 Gunter Ohrner 2022-10-22 15:02:19 UTC
Due to too many bugs in kMail some years ago I stopped using it and switched to
Thunderbird. I was not happy to have to make that choice, but since then at
least I didn't lose access to my mails any more because some maintenance update
does not work at all - as it happened more than once with kMail unfortunately.
:-(

So I cannot re-test.
