Public bug reported:
When a task is completed it can be marked as such. The code, correctly,
checks to ensure that a task is not being marked as completed before the
current time. Howvever, the current time is taken (apparently) from UTC
and not from the current local timezone. This means that it is not
possible to mark a task as completed in the eastern hemisphere before
the UTC offset of the timezone, i.e. we must be after the threshold in
UTC.
If I complete a task before 9:30am and attempt to mark it as completed I
am met with: "Completed date cannot be in the future".
This appears to be due to an optimisation in
cal_comp_util_compare_time_with_today which only compares time (without
timezone) if the time is only a date.
