    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      In the user preferences, one can choose the client's local time zone. However, the selection list shows time zone offsets relative to GMT regardless of current daylight savings time (DST). These offsets should take current DST into account in each location.

      This problem also appear to affect the calendar plugin. A fixed GMT offset is used for the calendar, as indicated in the calendar's titlebar. This issue is tracked separately at http://developer.atlassian.com/jira/browse/CAL-203.

      See the attached WebEx screenshot for an example of how to do this better.
