Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When adding a new event to the calendar I cannot specify a time zone for the start and end times. In most cases it is fine to ignore the time zones and use the local time zone of the place where you will be at that time. Evolution calender, however, will not let you set an event that ends before it starts either. Suppose you plan to take flight JL018 which departs from Tokyo at 18:05 and arrives in Vancouver at 10:45 of the same day (i.e. 5 hours and 20 minutes before departure), you will not be able to add that flight to evolution calendar.
