Steps to reproduce:
I scheduled a meeting to happen at 2021-11-16, from 2:30 UTC to 3:30 UTC. It is marked as repeating "monthly" until 2025-04-22.
Thunderbird's calendar is configured to America/New_York timezone.
I chose "open" on the instance of the event recurrance that happens to land on 2022-04-15 to see the summary dialog.
Actual results:
When i open the event in Thunderbird, the dialog says:
Title: demonstration meeting
Calendar: Home
Start Date: Friday, April 15, 2022 19:30 (Saturday, April 16, 2022 02:30, UTC)
End Date: Friday, April 15, 2022 20:30 (Saturday, April 16, 2022 03:30, UTC)
Repeat: Occurs 15 of every month effective 11/15/21 until 4/22/25 from 18:30 to 19:30.
Note that the time in the "Repeat" entry says "18:30-19:30", but the time of the meeting is 19:30-20:30.
Expected results:
The time of the meeting should probably be displayed with its timezone (note that even the date changes in this weird case):
Repeat: Occurs 16 of every month effective 11/16/21 until 4/22/25 from 2:30 UTC to 3:30 UTC.
If including the timezone is unacceptable, it should at least show the time of the current meeting being displayed -- it's pretty weird that it says 19:30 to 20:30 in "Start Date" and "End Date", but 18:30 to 19:30 in "Repeat".
Sigh, daylight savings time.
