Repeating reminders can't handle the switch between DST and ST

Open CampelloManuel opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug

When Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends and Standard Time (ST) resumes, some reminders end up with the wrong hour:

  • [x] reminders that trigger only once correctly handle the switch from DST to ST
  • [ ] repeating reminders have their due time decreased by one hour when switching from DST to ST
  • [ ] when switching from ST to DST, repeating reminders are set 1 hour later than expected

how To Reproduce

  1. Set a repeating reminder on a note when DST is active, with due time set to 8:00
  2. wait for DST to end and for ST to resume
  3. open the note with the repeating reminder
  4. you will see that the due time is set to 7:00. This is not a design intent, it should remain to 8:00

Technical information

  • Device: any
  • OS: android 11
  • app version: 7.1.6

Since this only affects repeating reminders, it's possible that a bugfix from the "once only" reminders did not get implemented, so start by looking for differences in how those 2 kinds of reminders are handled. Also, the obsolete Time class should be replaced with the new GregorianCalendar, as requested in #380 , before investigating bugs involving time, like this one

Put options to search for specific text within the note

@kayronnBR is this a new feature request ? Do you want me to add a feature to let you search a word and then select it in the note editor ? If your notes are so long that you need a search function to navigate them, you should consider making a list of notes. Then, divide the longest notes in parts, and it will become easier to find your content.

Also, I assume your comment is not related to daylight saving ?
