Timezone settings have no effect

[skysurfer]

Using the time zone settings in config.ini I want to set it to GMT. But when I set (in both blocks [localization] and [init_location])
time_zone = GMT
or
time_zone = Pacific/Marquesas (as in the example
this has no effect: it uses the computer's timezone.

I checked again, it does work, but at init of stellarium, the difference between the computer timezone and GMT (in my case 1 hour) is counted double. Pressing the '8' corrects it.
E.g. the clock time is 20:00 hrs (GMT+1, computer time). At startup Stellarium sets to 18:00 and after pressing on 8 it is 19:00 and runs correctly.

Confirmed. I'll see what I can do.

Sorry, don't have very much time right now.

[Bogdan Marinov (daggerstab)]

I think I've found the problem.

A fix has been committed to Stellarium's Subversion code repository at SourceForge as revision 6413:

Wow! Well done Bogdan! It was not so easy to track.

This bug has not been fix since 2010 which should have been fix by 2016.

When on vacation to various parts of the world, I cannot use stellarium correctly because of this bug.

Maybe someone can actually fix it so that when someone moves to a different location the date and time should reflect the correct date and time at the changed location NOT using the computer date and time.
