1768227 - calendar presents confusing times when events cross time zones

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[john]

Steps to reproduce:

(my error) new machine and did not set time zone in preferences
Received a zoom invite from California (on PDT)
A notation of the zone showed noon, but no statement of the zone (PDT)
Changed preference to America/Chicago, and time changed within the emailed invite, but no statement in the email of the zone

Went to calendar and opened the event:
showed start as :
"Monday, May 9, 2022 2:00 PM (Monday, May 9, 2022 12:00 PM, America/Los_Angeles)"

Expected results:

A.
The program should present CDT CST on the invite within the email (or, if I hadn't changed the preference: PDT or PST)

B.
Within the event, there should be a notation that includes the local time zone within the start date line, to read as:
Monday, May 9, 2022 2:00 PM CDT (Monday, May 9, 2022 12:00 PM, PDT)
(The CDT after my time, most important)
(a preference for the shorthand PDT over the extended location phrasing -- noting that my location is not the "listed" America/Chicago and the sender not in America/Los Angeles....))

or something similar, to trap the time zone .and. the daylight vs standard time.

This is important :
a. when the invite originates in another time zone;
b. where the adherence to daylight savings or standard time rules is not known (say...Arizona ?)
c. when the invitation sent time and/or the scheduled time cross or is near the time change between daylight savings and standard time.

d. [also important] as my work might take me for short, medium or extended periods to another time zone, and users such as I need to know in which zone an event sits....
