Offline messages show UTC time instead of local time

[Alessio Gaeta]

Binary package hint: empathy

As per summary (at least with telepathy-butterfly, don't know with other protocols).
As example: an offline message sent at 14:00 CEST (UTC+2, today) is shown as sent at 12:00.

Moreover, if the person sending the message (offline or "online") has been the last one to write in previous conversation, time isn't shown at all (as if it were continuing the previous conversation), making impossible to understand if a new conversation has been started and when the message ha been sent. But maybe this is another bug...

can you change empathy theme and see if the problem is still there.

[Alessio Gaeta (meden)]

It seems not a theme related problem: times are shown in UTC for offline messages.

(Is theme related my added note, so forget it...)

[Brian Curtis (bcurtiswx)]

Please help us out by taking screenshots of empathy with the Ubuntu theme and another theme where the time errors occur.

Also please add steps to get to your issue so we can follow it on our computers in order to reproduce.
