Scheduled Tasks and time offsets

Tested on RC1.2 and RC2 Charter (haven't checked SVN yet, but see no reason it should be wrong)

This is on my Windows PC, so anything's possible.

Forum timezone set to Europe/London, no master offset, no offset in my profile.

At 15:30 (which PC clock and forum agree on), I set a scheduled task to be run at 15:31 for testing purposes, but it was reported thereafter in Scheduled Tasks as 16:31.

I'm guessing it's related to the timezones and DST but Europe/London DST ended last week.

Is the time in the user info reporting correctly?

What is the intended behavior? It sounds like a bug to me, to change the task time with an hour from what the user set.
To-do lists are for deferral. The more things you write down the later they're done... until you have 100s of lists of things you don't do.

The intended behaviour is that if I set a scheduled task to run at 3.30pm, it should run at 3.30pm, since there's no time offset going on.

Haven't tried it recently, so not sure if it isn't a random DST thing going on, since I'm back to GMT now rather than GMT+DST.

Can you please tell if you can replicate it on the current svn?

I can't, no, so I'm wondering if this is more a quirk of Windows and how it handles DST internally.

Or perhaps it was solved already.
Thank you for checking it out!
