Jianqi,

I cant claim to be an expert on issues related to timezones and DST 
conventions, but I may have a theory for your issue. Some time ago I recall, 
there was an universal adjustment to the switch.. If I recall right, the day on 
which the time changes were changed. To reflect this in the digital world, OS 
updates were required. I'm guessing, one of your two clients (the one that 
shows it incorrectly) does not have that update..

Joe

Subject: Day light saving time

Hi:

A user believes there is a bug related to daylight time saving in software. I 
can reproduce it.
Steps:

1). If I have locale->TimeZone sets to blank, and creates an incident, its 
"Create Date" is 2012-03-19 01:55:06 PM.

2). However, when I change the TimeZone to GMT-5:00 (EST) America/New_York, 
"Create Date" of the same incident becomes 2012-03-19 12:55:06 PM. There is one 
hour defference.

My time zone is GMT-5:00 (EST) US & Canada. These two time zones are GMT-5:00. 
Do you know why these two GMT-5:00 setting shows one hour defference for the 
same incident.

This happens to incidents created between new day light saving time (second 
week of March) and old day light saving time (first week of April).

Thanks
