      When selecting a date for a custom date and time picker field, the initial time shown does not reflect the user's timezone preference in Chrome, IE9 or Safari correctly. To reproduce,

      • add a custom date time picker field
      • set the user's timezone to a non-zero offset
      • create an issue in Chrome, and in Firefox for comparison

      This was reproduced in Chrome 16.0.912.63 and Firefox 8.0.1.
      Update: This was reproduced in Chrome 26, Safari 6.0.4 and IE9. Firefox 21 did not show this problem.

      I suspect it to be caused by our parsing of ISO8601 date strings in JS. Because we don't append "Z" to the date string. The spec is ambigious on this (http://zetafleet.com/blog/javascript-dateparse-for-iso-8601) Chrome seems to interpret this as "client side offset", but Firefox as "no timezone offset".
