Bug Description

Observed:
Went on a trip to the US from Croatia. Laptop connected to local LAN. External IP correctly identified to be in the US. Noticed that my local time zone is still Croatian. Checked time & date settings and saw that "automatic time zone" is enabled.

Expected: the time zone would change to the local US timezone as soon as the laptop detected the change in the local network

Reproducability: 1/1

Workaround: manual setting of time zone?
