Issue: Day-long events get displayed with wrong time (and wrong date on day-spans) #2290

Description

@kgollmer

Hi there, I'm not sure where the problem lies exactly; we're running a hosted nextcloud on a shared server. The problem ist: whenever we want to poll whole days (e.g. we want to know whether all participants are free on a given date, without specifiying time), it jumps to the day before, 22:00 and ends the event the desired day, 22:00. This is confusing, because on mouseover, two dates will be displayed.
It gets even worse when trying to figure out a span of more than one day (e.g. 3 days). Days will be displayed correctly, if a time is selected as well (0:00 to 24:00 doesn't work though). I've attached screenshots.
Is that a localization problem (got to be, since in third screenshots displays not only wrong time, but a different time that's even more wrong on mouseover - I've put in 09:00 to 17:00) and also a bug?
Long story short: please fix the behaviour to display days correctly without having to choose a time as well.

wrong

definitely wrong

kinda right

    The timespan in the tooltip displays the time in UTC or GMT indicated with the word UTC. This is by intention.

    Ok. So how do I get it to only display the date I selected, without switching to the day before or using a two-day timespan in the tooltip due to it being UTC+1 in Germany?

    I don't get the point, there is no switching. The selected date is displayed in the header cells for the user's time zone. So just ignore the tooltip. It is an additional information, i.e. if mates from different time zones are looking at the same poll.

    I'm having a similar issue.
    I setup a poll without specifying the time, because as the OP, I only wanted to know date availability.
    Users that lives in another TZ see the dates shifted because the app uses 00:00 by default apparently.

    Suggestion: if no time is specified in the poll, don't include a default time (00:00 is useless for planning a meeting).

    Thanks for feedback, but please open another issue, because it is another request.
