           Summary: same event appears on two consecutive days
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: richard.birnie at googlemail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

This was originally reported at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/310127

Steps to reproduce:
1) Set time zone to Europe/London (effectively UTC)
2) Create an event that runs from 2300 on day 1 to 0100 on day 2
3) The event is displayed correctly. In fact it displays as two parts labelled
1/2 and 2/2 at the correct times, which seems sensible to me.
4) Change timezone to America/Los Angeles. Settings > Configure KOrganiser >
Time and Date
5) When presented with the dialog 'Keep Absolute Times' choose keep times
6) The result is that the same event now appears as two duplicate events on
consecutive days.

The original reporter suggests that it is sufficient to create the events in a
non-UTC timezone. I just happen to be in a UTC timezone so these are the steps
I took. I'm not even completely sure if this is a bug but the current way of
displaying this seems counter intuitive at least.
