Yes, it is.

I pointed that issue out at April, 17:

12:43 < _rene_> uhm.
12:43 < _rene_> - Row inserted  Sheet1.1:1              04/05/2020
15:01:10      (Row 1:1 inserted)
12:43 < _rene_> ?                                                   ^
12:43 < _rene_> + Row inserted  Sheet1.1:1              04/05/2020
17:01:10      (Row 1:1 inserted)
12:43 < _rene_> ? 
12:43 < _rene_> does the UITest assume TZ=UTC?

(no reaction).

Then it was discussed again at April, 24:

16:09 <@x1sc0> _rene_, it's really weird you get 15:01:10 there, see

16:23 < _rene_> (even though sticking TZ=UTC in solenv/gbuild/UITest.mk
didn't work for some reason. tried.)
16:23 <@x1sc0> _rene_, i'm wondering whether is a bug, I believe the
change time should be the same despite of the timezone
16:24 < _rene_> then you'd need to tell the timezone there
16:24 < _rene_> (or make it UTC in all cases.)
16:25 < _rene_> I would accept that, but I am sure people out there
won't....
16:25 < _rene_> (especially the frenchies)
16:27 < _rene_> in any case the build has to work in a chroot without
any TZ set ;), well, actually:
16:27 < _rene_> # cat /etc/timezone 
16:27 < _rene_> Etc/UTC
16:27 < _rene_> maybe it's TZ=Etc/UTC
16:28 < _rene_> (but then why did it work in my "normal" system....)
16:28 < _rene_> (TZ=UTC that is)

16:43 <@erAck> Fwiw, yes, the timestamp in track changes *is* timezone
aware and has to be (consider editing a shared document on a sever with
clients in different timezones); stored in document in UTC
16:43 <@erAck> so a UI test not considering that will fail
16:44 < loircbot> LibreOffice (online) michael.meeks *  (net/Socket.cpp
wsd/ProxyProtocol.cpp): Proxy: ensure dumpState dumps via the
MessageHandlerInterface too.
16:44 < _rene_> so it's a bug in the test...
16:44 < _rene_> it should force UTC

That I tried:

https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice/-/commit/8467ebd7f96e40d506a176e995bcb77112286b71

But as I said the next day:

09:46 < _rene_> erAck_[t], x1sc0: hmm, and now that exact test hangs...

where I just gave up for alpha1[1], hoping you would care about your own
test and fix it ;-)

So no: no news from me except the known stuff above.

Now to the mail :-):

No idea whether that (and similar otherwise) is affected by TZ. Is this
two bugs?

Mine is Europe/Berlin and as shown above I get

- Row inserted  Sheet1.1:1              04/05/2020 15:01:10      (Row 1:1 inserted)
?                                                   ^
+ Row inserted  Sheet1.1:1              04/05/2020 17:01:10      (Row 1:1 inserted)

(which incidentially completely matches Europe/Berlin. (UTC+2)).

Rene

[1] sticking a timeout into the build scripts and because that causes an error, ignoring
test errors. It's alpha over all, but there's a beta upcoming...
