Indicator-Datetime always shows UTC time for any online calendar added to evolution (Unity7, Xenial)

[Khurshid Alam]

My timezone is set to GMT+5:30 (Kolkata, India) from indicator datetime settings. But when I add a online google calendar in Evolution, events (which has start time and end time) are appearing as UTC time. However in evolution, its all nice and evolution does respect my timezone.

How to reproduce:

1. Set google calendar timezone to match your timezone from google calendar settings (web).

2. From web interface, add a event with time into that calendar. Then copy its private ical address.

3. Open evolution. Add that calendar from new->calendar->on the web.

4. reboot.

What should happen?

If a event starts from 5 PM, indicator-datetime should reflect that.

What is happening?

indicator-datetime shows every event starting at UTC time; i.e, in my case 5.30 hours leading!

Note: It seems it only happens for online calendars. Locally created events are ok.

I can still reproduce this with
indicator-date-time : 15.10+16.04.20160310-0ubuntu1
and evolution-data-server : evolution-data-server 3.18.5-1ubuntu1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thought it was some misconfiguration on my machine. But later found this issue. Just as topic started described - all times of my events are in UTC. This sucks, because i can't use the popup at a glance to know which meetings i have at which time. Too frustrating to convert values in your head. Please take a look!

@Alberto Salvia Novella Why medium importance? This is still reproducible in Zesty. Should we open a new for it?

Marking this bug for zesty.
