Some of this report is a duplicate of bug #1290171, which is already in progress.
However, the "Directs to date one day before" bug isn't covered in 1290171, and I'm able to reproduce that issue. Short answer: looks like the fix is to convert localtime to GMT before passing it to evolution. Longer answer: indicator-datetime invokes evolution like this: $ evolution "calendar:///?startdate=20140325" ...and if I test that manually from the command line, I get the same issue of Evolution popping up a calendar to March 24. However if I pass that in UTC to evolution, it works correctly. I'm in GMT-5, so if I do this: $ evolution "calendar:///?startdate=20140325T050000Z" then it pops up correctly. If I shift it less than 5 hours, it still shows up on March 24: $ evolution "calendar:///?startdate=20140325T040000Z" ** Summary changed: - clock applet won't display events for selected date/directs to wrong date on evolution calendar + double-clicking on a calendar day opens Evolution to the day *before* the double-clicked day -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

In the clock/calendar applet, it displays the 5 next upcoming events on my calendar and an option to add an event. These events are accurate and up to date from today's date. However, if I select another date on the calendar, it will not change to show events from that date. It always displays current upcoming events. Also, if I click on any upcoming event listed, or if I double-click on a date on the calendar, I am directed to the date one day before the date selected. Clicking Add Event opens the Evolution calendar and selects the current date and time. I can begin typing and it will create an event in the selected calendar.
