Summary
Users that's accessing Confluence with computers that has non-round timezones (like UTC +9:30) are not seeing correct timestamps in their "Recently Worked On" page in the dashboard
Steps to reproduce
- Set the Confluence server timezone to UTC-5
- Set a client/user computer time zone to any non-round amount of hours and positively shifted from UTC; for example UTC+9:30 Darwin
- Access Confluence and Edit a document.
- Document shows "Created by USER, last modified just a moment ago".
- Open Dashboard, "Recently worked on" shows modified "Yesterday".
- Set computer time zone to any with round amount of hours and shifted from UTC in any direction; for example UTC+10 Brisbane.
- Refresh "Recently worked on" — now it will properly display edited page under "Today".
Screencast attached to this bug report: Recording #15.avi
Expected Results
- Edited page should be displayed under in "Recently worked on" section under "Today" regardless of the time zone settings.
Notes
- Index rebuild from scratch doesn't help
- Time zone in user's profile is irrelevant.
- This issue does not exist for negative shifted zones, (for example, UTC -9:30 and UTC -3:30)
This issue can also be replicated with timezones that are very close to each other such as:
Server Timezone | GMT+8 (Kuala Lumpur, Singapore) |
---|---|
Browsing Client Timezone | GMT+8.45 (Eucla) |
This doesn't seem to be due to how big is the gap between 2 timezones, but the mismatch of the minute difference
This issue is important for Confluence with users from different timezones.
This can cause confusion among users.
