Bug ID: 498563
Summary: Digital Clock not taking time zone into account when
displaying lunar phases
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Digital Clock widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I've noticed the dates of lunar phases in the digital clock widget's calendar
are frequently off by a day. I'm guessing the issue is most likely caused by a
difference in time zone, which is not being properly taken into account. For
example, there is a full moon late on January 13th 2025, UTC, and this is the
date the widget's calendar displays it on. However, my time zone is actually
UTC+2, and here the full moon falls on January 14th, which is the date normally
marked in all local calendars. The issue might also apply to other astronomical
events, though I don't have that information at hand right now to confirm.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Lunar phases under Astronomical Events in Digital Clock
2. View lunar phase dates in the widget's calendar, in a time zone other than
UTC
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Kubuntu 24.10
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
PS. Tangentially related wishlist item: it would be neat if the calendar also
displayed the actual time of astronomical events, instead of just the date.
