Bug description
The merged fix for timezone drift for all day event reminders described in bug #36192 is not working properly in NC26.0.4. See https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/36192
At least one other user on the nextcloud forum is describing the same. See https://help.nextcloud.com/t/calendar-timezone-bug-36192/167212
Calendar is still using server time (generally UTC) instead of calendar time zone.
Steps to reproduce
- create all day event on calendar
- schedule email reminder
- save event with reminders
Expected behavior
Reminder should arrive as scheduled in users selected time zone. instead reminder is arriving based on server time zone, which is generally UTC. In other words, if reminder should arrive at 9am New York City time (America/NewYork) the day before an all day event, it arrives at 5am New York City time (America/NewYork), because New York is 4 hours later than UTC.
