Description
Summary
First of all this issue is very similar to this one:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-41646
However, I wasn't able to tell whether they have the same root cause or not, as this refers to the different fields and timezones. If this is the case, feel free to close this bug as duplicate and we can update the other one.
When a user has an instance in timezone America/Montevideo, when setting a date, the actual date the user sees is one day behind.
This is likely caused by the Daylight Saving Time. This was replicated on November/25/2015 (not on DST).
This cannot be replicated by using the user's timezone in the profile page. This setting must be the system setting to cause this problem.
Steps to Reproduce
- Have a JIRA Cloud instance with system timezone set to America/Montevideo
- Create an issue
- Set the due date for this issue
Expected Results
The due date displays the date the user entered.
Actual Results
The date is one day behind.
Notes
This is stored in the database for due date:
2015-11-27 00:00:00-02
If we convert to GMT-3, we get '2015-11-26 23:00:00-03', which explains why the previous day is displayed.
