Calendar date-times incoherences when DST occurs on 27th March

[Ren]

I'd rather to create another bug-id even if the Bug #1562891 seems
similar at first sight (Time-date & Calendar issue UTC/Local),
but I've noticed an issue about times displayed in Calendar-app:
the time is incoherent between the displays.

BUG DESCRIPTION :

When DST changed from UTC+1 to UTC+2 , the times displayed
for an events serie is not coherent, like it is shown in the joined
screenshots numbered from 1 to 5. You can realize:

1- The DST changed from UTC+1 to UTC+2 (Europe/Paris),
and 'Set the time and date' is Automatically.

2- This screenshot show that now the event has changed
to 13:00 - 13:05 . Originally it was set at 12:00 - 12:05

3- This window shows that the event (dated 30 March)
can be modified but it is set at 13:00 - 13:05

4- Now I edit this event with the funtion 'Edit series'...

5- The page shown, now displays the 9th March
at 12:00 - 12:05. Which is incoherent.

WHAT THE LAST WINDOW SHOULD DISPLAY :

1- A page with a date of 30 March with a time 12:00 - 12:05.

2 -if I edit any event starting from the 27th March,
all the notifications should display 12:00 - 12:05
because originally it was set at this time.

3- If I edit an event, say the 30th March and I
decide to change it to 12:30 - 12:35 , all
occurring serie from 30th March should
be modified from 30th March.
And as well, all occurring serie before 30th March
should be unchanged.

CONCLUSION:

The user should not have to change the time set even when
the DST occurred. An event set to 12:00 before a DST
should remain to 12:00 after a DST.

May I ask the meaning of "Won't fix", does that mean it will never be fixed forever ?
An explanation is welcomed for a new bug reported. Thanks.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

believe that was just a mis-selection of status

[Bill Filler (bfiller)]

Sorry about that, meant to change to confirmed. We are looking into fixing this issue.

qtorganizer does not have access of device timezone due the apparmor policies check bug #1565908, as WORKAROUND we will add "/etc/writable/timezone" as read path on calendar-app policy file.

Fix committed into lp:ubuntu-calendar-app at revision 817, scheduled for release in ubuntu-calendar-app, milestone 0.5

renato: do you plan to test the qtpim silo mentioned in the e-mail thread regarding this bug, or is the qtpim update no longer needed for OTA-11?

The silo https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1213 is ready for testing since a week ago.

[Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho (renatofilho)]

@Timo, yes I have tested that already, is working fine. Bill is about to test it, I will let you know when we approve it.

Thanks.

Today 2016-04-12 with the version 32 - OTA-10.1 has been installed and
I would like to give you the results of a test when I edit a calendar
event, I still have incoherence times in the calendar event window and
the editing window of this recurring event.

Example :

1- in the main calendar window for the day, a recurring event is : 20:30 - 20:32
2-this event details window shows : 20:30 - 20:32
3-In Edit event window (modify the series) shows: 19:30 - 19:32

So, the one hour difference still exists.
