Recently worked on dashboard showing incorrect timestamps

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Set your computer timezone to GMT+0.
      2. Create a page in Confluence. Notice that in the dashboard under "Recently worked on", the page shows under "today"
      3. Change your computer timezone to GMT-7
      4. Notice that the page in the "Recently worked on" dashboard shows "yesterday"
      5. Create a new page and notice that the new page also shows "yesterday".

      Things to note:

      • Index rebuild from scratch doesn't help
      • Changing the user's personal timezone to GMT-7 doesn't help
      • If a different user changes his computer timezone (not server's timezone), the problem persists
      • Even if a new user with a different timezone (GMT-7) than the server's timezone signs up and creates a new content. It is shown as "Yesterday"

      This issue is important for Confluence with users from different timezones.
      This can cause confusion among users.
