Description (last modified by markjaquith)

If draft was saved at 4pm local time and you have -3 timezone offset, it'll say you posted it at 1pm.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. New draft
  2. Type some body text, no title
  3. Add a custom field
  4. Navigate away.
  5. Note title of draft shows GMT + (2*offset)

  • Version set to 2.1

Although I don't doubt the problem, "server time" would seem to be relevant to the problem description, or is that what you mean by local time?

#2 @markjaquith

No, it shows GMT minus (2*offset), by my math. Local time is GMT minus offset (as set in WordPress)... the desired time to present to the user.

Is that platform dependent?

I'm not seeing this on my computer(winxp sp2+firefox2/IE7), the draft preview shows current localtime correctly.

I'm sorry that shouldn't be anything related to the browser.

But can you describe more details about what exactly is the title you're referring to?(the theme/reproduce steps?)

I tested wordpress 2.1 on thirteen/ocadia, the draft preview date/time always shows correct GMT+offset current time. And I don't see anything strange in query.php.

Bah, that should be PLUS (2*offset) ... my offset just happens to be negative.
