           Summary: During timezone translation, dates are not translated
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: garbage.angel at gmail.com


Version:           4.2 rc1 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When importing an .ics file with events in it listed as UTC (times ends in Z),
and when user timezone is Eastern (GMT-5, America/New_York), events that are on
different days between the timezone do not appear in week view and appear on
the wrong day in month view.

For instance: an event that occurs in January 2 0100 to 0200 in UTC but occurs
in January 1 2000 to 2100 in GMT-5 will be listed under January 2 in month
view, and not at all in week view.

I believe this is because korganizer only shifts the time by the number of
hours required to translate the timezone, but it doesn't test whether that time
shift will result in crossing a date boundary.

Google calendar seems to handle this okay. I will attach an example .ics. The
times are defined in UTC and user selected timezone should be set to GMT-5.
Compare with results from Google calendar.

In case the start time is on the same day in both timezones but the end time is
different day in both timezones, the event is duplicated, like in bug #173381
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173381. 

And also, although I installed 4.2.0 packages from kubuntu experimental repo,
the about dialog in korganizer lists 4.2 rc1, although the package name is:
4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid~ppa3. I don't think this is that relevant.
