Timezones are incorrect
I live in Buenos Aires, which is usually at GMT-3. A recent federal law (which evidently hasn't been properly communicated around the world) reinstated daylight saving time in Argentina, so we are currently at GMT-2. I therefore configured my timezone as GMT-2, but whenever I set a reminder for, say, "in 15 minutes", it would get set for 4 hours and 15 minutes in the future. It then ocurred to me to use the timezone for Montevideo, Uruguay, which is at GMT-2, and this one works correctly. The only logical conclusion is that the behind-the-scenes functionality for the "GMT-2" timezone is wrong, as it seems to behave like "GMT+2" (two hours forward to GMT, plus two additional hours forward to GMT+2 makes up the 4 hour difference I'm seeing).
I’m skeptical

Inappropriate?Some more information: all that I described in the original problem report (above) transpired last night. After changing the timezone to Montevideo's, I manually adjusted all my reminders so that the time was right. This morning, however, I logged on to see if things were any different, and lo and behold, without having changed the timezone further, all my reminders were one hour ahead (e.g., a 9 PM reminder now read 8 PM). I checked just in case last night was a DST shift in Uruguay, but things remain the same, so the app just went and set all my reminders one hour ahead without reason.
So, I set everything back to how it should be (e.g., changed the 8 PM back to 9 PM). Now, several hours later, I log back on, and my 9 PM reminder now reads 10 PM! There seems to be a lot going on besides "sluggishness", guys... -
Inappropriate?Another thing I forgot to mention about the mysterious time changing bug (actually, two things):
(a) First, regarding that 9 PM to 10 PM reminder, I forgot to mention that if I click on the reminder on the "Your Stuff" page (to see the details), it also reads 10 PM. However, when I click on the "Edit" link, despite the fact that on the "Your Stuff" page I see it for 10 PM, the editable properties still say 9 PM. If I don't change anything and click "Save", the "Your Stuff" page will now show it correctly (9 PM). Nevertheless, if I click on the reminder again to see the details, it still reads 10 PM!
(b) After trying this, I set another test reminder for 6 PM (bear with me: we have a 9 PM and a 6 PM reminder). I logged out and logged back in, and now the "Your Stuff" page shows the 6 PM reminder at 5 PM, and the 9 PM reminder at 10 PM. One went back, the other forward!
