Issue 12579: Google chrome wrong time zone in history

Reported by ivan.huz...@gmail.com, May 23, 2009
Chrome Version       : 2.0.172.28

Hello!

I use Google Chrome 2.0.172.28 and in history in listed wrong time.
I'm current in the Karlovac,Croatia time zone (GMT+2), however, Chrome 
history thinks my time zone is +1, but Firefox still reads it as +2. 
When I type: 
javascript:new%20Date().toString() 
in Chrome Omnibar, I get: 
Sat May 23 2009 15:34:49 GMT+0200 (Central European Daylight Time) 
Which is Correct. 
However, when I type that line into Firefox, I get: 
Sat May 23 2009 15:35:10 GMT+0200 (Central European Daylight Time) which is 
correct. 
But Google chrome history shows GMT+1 time.
How to fix that?

1) Please provide OS and 
2) what your OS time zone setting is (I am assuming GMT+1 and then you have the 
"automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" ticked?).

FWIW, I am also on CEST and I am not able to repro on Win XP.

Hello!

My OS:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

OS time zone: GMT+1 with ticked box where says:
"automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" 

My computer is now on GMT+2 time zone as we are now in summer.

Today at 16:40 CEST (GMT+2) and in attachment you can see that Google
Chrome History page sad that is 3:40 PM, so it shows wrong time.

This is really strange. 
I can not repro this behavior on Win XP SP2. 
Tried both version 2.0.181.1 and 2.0.172.28

Hello!

My OS:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

OS time zone: GMT+1 with ticked box where says:
"automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" 

My computer is now on GMT+2 time zone as we are now in summer.
You can see that in attachment in this message.

Now is 12:10 CEST (GMT+2)

When I open Google Chrome 2.0.172.28 and when I open history by pressing Ctrl+H I get 
time 11:10 AM, same as you can see in attachment in previous message.

When I type: 
javascript:new%20Date().toString() 
in Google Chrome 2.0.172.28 I get correct time, date and timezone info:
Tue May 26 2009 12:19:30 GMT+0200 (Central European Daylight Time)

hmm, I am able to reproduce this issue on my English XP with GMT+ 01:00 time zone:

Steps:
1. Set OS time zone as "(GMT+01:00)Sarajevo,Skopje,Warsaw,Zagreb"
   >>Make sure "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" is checked
2. Launch Chrome
3. Visit google.com
4. Hit Ctrl + h
5. Observe

You will see the time displayed in history page has one hour difference compared with 
OS current time.

This issue happens on all Chrome channels and Chromium trunk, checked on:
2.0.172.28 (Official Build )
3.0.183.0  (Developer Build 17021)

Thanks for the additional info. I did not have the imagination needed to think that 
it would make a difference whether you select 
"(GMT+01:00)Sarajevo,Skopje,Warsaw,Zagreb" or, say, 
"(GMT+01:00)Brussels,Copenhagen,Madrid,Paris" since these are exactly the same time 
zone with the same daylight savings dates...

I can repro with "Sarajevo..." but not with "Brussels..." or any of the other 
European GMT+1 entries.

There seems to be something really fishy going on. Not clear if it is a Windows issue 
or something in our code that would treat the "Sarajevo..." selection differently. 
The former seems most likely to me though I have not been able to find any reports on 
this on the web.
Comment 7 by ivan.huz...@gmail.com, May 28, 2009
So, you know this problem and next update of Google Chrome needs to fix this problem.
My time zone in Windows XP Pro SP3 is (GMT+01:00)Sarajevo,Skopje,Warsaw,Zagreb

Hello!
Today at 22:00 CET (GMT+2) I did update Google Chrome to the latest version 2.0.172.30

When this will be fixed??

I reproduced and implemented a local fix in wintz.c.  I suspect this is fixed upstream 
in a later revision of icu38, that's yet to be verified.  See:

Comment 25 by netithorn, Oct 26, 2009
I have a similar issue as well.  When I use Google Chrome to check Gmail, it is off by 
six hours.  It shows the time in Thailand where my desktop was originally set up and 
installed the programs.  BUT when I use IE, the timestamp is displayed correctly.  IE 
had a problem before the daylight saving time was over.  Any advice would be 
appreciated.  Thanks.
Comment 26 by nature12, Feb 11, 2010
I had the same problem but was able to fix it. This worked for me:
- On any Google search results page, select "more" from the bar across the top and 
then select "Calendar."
- On the left-side of the calendars there is an option that says "my calendars," 
select "settings"
- Under the Calendar settings, select the "general" tab. 
- On this screen, make sure that your Country, Time Zone, and Location entries are 
all consistent with where you are.

Hope that helps!

Could you file a new bug with more details and add a pointer to the new bug here?

 What you observed is different from what's dealt with here (Sarajebo timezone). 

Thanks
Comment 28 by ivan.huz...@gmail.com, Feb 12, 2010
I use latest Google Chrome and everything is OK.
Comment 29 by joseluisgarciaott, Feb 12, 2010
I have the same issue, and the google calendar tip didnt work for me. My time is Buenos 
Aires GMT -3 and the history in google chrome is one hour in the future. (if i take a 
look at history now, it would say 11:30am at this page, and its 10:30am here). In 
google calendar it display the time correctly.
Comment 30 by ivan.huz...@gmail.com, Feb 12, 2010
Update to latest version of Google Chrome and everything will be OK.
Comment 31 by joseluisgarciaott, Feb 12, 2010
