Steps to reproduce:

  • Create a new Thunderbird profile
  • Start that profile
  • Create a new CalDAV calendar
  • Create an appointment at 8 pm

Actual results:

Since the time change on 31.03.2024(German Summer Time), newly created CalDAV appointments have the wrong time. For example, if an appointment is created at 8 pm, it is displayed in Thunderbird at 7 pm. Only after a restart of Thunderbird will this appointment be displayed correctly at 8 pm. The behavior is reproducible.

Expected results:

Appointments should be displayed immediately with the correct time and not only after a restart of Thunderbird

There's probably a mismatch of timezone set somewhere.
What timezone are you using set to use in Thunderbird? And is the server set to use something else (that didn't change at this time)?

Component: Untriaged → General
Product: Thunderbird → Calendar

The time zone is the same on the server and client as Europe/Berlin.
If I use a different CalDAV client (Evolution), I do not have the error.
The error appears for the first time in Thunderbird 108. In Thunderbird 107.0b4 the error does not exist.

I have the same problem. Tested with Thunderbird 115.10.1 (Windows 10 / Debian 12) and Kopano 8.7.25.0-2 on UCS-Server 5.0.7
Tests with Evolution or KDE KOrganizer to Kopano works fine.

Best regards

duplicate of bug 1797693?

I cannot say whether it is a duplicate, as I interpret the bug report mentioned as meaning that the error only occurs on the day of the time changeover and only in one view. But I may be seeing this wrong.

In my report, however, I also tested the Thunderbird version in which the problem first occurred.

I don't think this is a duplicate of 1797693, because that bug:

(a) isn't specific to events synced over CalDAV

(b) persists after restarting Thunderbird.
