Public bug reported: This bug is back again. In Precise, double-clicking a date in the calendar applet consistently opens the previous day in Evolution for me. Looking in "ps", the calendar applet is launching Evolution with this command-line for July 25:
evolution calendar:///?startdate=20120725T080000Z I am in the America/Los_Angeles timezone which is GMT -8 or GMT -7 during DST, so that seems to be a valid date string for July 25 (8 AM GMT is 1 AM PDT or 12 AM PST, either of which should mean July 25), but Evolution interprets it as meaning July 24. By trial and error, I found that the threshold where it will start opening July 25 is 20120725T140000Z, i.e. July 25 at 2 PM. For December 1, the threshold is 20121201T160000Z, i.e. December 1 at 4 PM. The significance to this is that the offset of 14 in the summer is 7 * 2 and the offset of 16 in the winter is 8 * 2, so it appears that Evolution is incorrectly applying the time zone subtraction twice. This is actually an improvement from Oneiric where it was even more broken (bug 919157), but it is a regression from earlier where everything was working. I can't say for sure which was the last release where this worked, though.
