Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Description

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

Views don't update after changing timezone setting - restart required

Steps to reproduce:

0) If not done yet: Go to Lightning pane in Thunderbird options/preferences
   dialog select a timezone (e.g. Europe/Berlin (UTC+1)) and restart Thunderbird

1) Create an test event and note start time / end time

2) Go to Lightning pane in Thunderbird options/preferences dialog. Select
   a different timezone (e.g. America/Los_Angeles (UTC-8)). Press Ok.

3) Check the created event in the view
   --> Views have not changed, event is displayed as before

4) Restart Thunderbird and check the created event in the view
   --> Event is now displayed with start and end time shifted to new timezone
       (9 hours in this example)

Expected Results:
After changing the timezone settings the views should be updated automatically.

Probably depends on landing bug 321608, since that will finish implementing pref-observers in all views.  These observers can then be wired to listen for the timezone pref too.

Attachment: add timezone.local to pref listener

Patch adds a listener for calendar.timezone.local to automatically refresh the views.
