Recently worked on dashboard showing incorrect timestamps when clients do not have round amount Time Zones

      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

      1. Set the Confluence server timezone to UTC-5
      2. 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
      3. Access Confluence and Edit a document.
      4. Document shows "Created by USER, last modified just a moment ago".
      5. Open Dashboard, "Recently worked on" shows modified "Yesterday".
      6. Set computer time zone to any with round amount of hours and shifted from UTC in any direction; for example UTC+10 Brisbane.
      7. 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.
