M3 Calendar all day events

[epfreed]

I just upgraded from M2 to M3 (on Fedora 4) and am having a serious problem with the calender. The dates for new all day events are all goofy: if I set an all day event for Feb 3, it will show up on the UI as Feb 2 and 3. The tool tip shows the event as "Feb 2-Feb 2." This occurs in all the views (month, week, etc), and I tried to check using Sunbird to see about the ics--same problem.

All day events entered before the upgrade appear to be fine.

This sounds like it is related to Bug 5220, but it *is* different. Anyone else have this sort of problem?

[schemers]

this is related to a server-side timezone bug and is fixed for M4.

[tim brennan]

sounds like bug 5207

OK, great.

Um, wait--huh?

Oh, schemers thinks this is a known problem (fixed in M4) and tim brennan points to the bug number.

I see. At first I thought they disagreed.

Anyway, this is a big deal to us (making the ZImbra calendar nearly unusable). Can I do something manually to fix this one bug on my present system? Maybe recompile the affected file (//depot/main/ZimbraServer/src/java/com/zimbra/cs/mailbox/calendar/Invite.java?) and replace it? Or do I have to wait until M4?

Really have to wait. It should be soon(ie this week)

[epfreed]

Ok then. Keep up the good work!

I seem to be having the same difficulty, and it appears to be after this issue was long over (previous posts in this thread are dated January and its now August.)

I tried adding several all-day events, and they displayed fine. Then I added an all-day two day event. Since then, every other new all-day event is displaying incorrectly. For instance, I entered an all-day event for Halloween on 10/31. It shows up on the calendar appearing to block out both 10/30 and 10/31. The tool-tip display lists the event's When: 10/30 - 10/30.

The previous all-day events that were entered before this bug happened still display correctly.

Any suggestions?
