>                 Key: FLEX-18168
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-18168
>             Project: Apache Flex
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: mx: DateField
>    Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 2.0.1 (Release)
>         Environment: Affected OS(s): Windows
> Affected OS(s): 
> Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x
> Language Found: English
>            Reporter: Adobe JIRA
>              Labels: easytest

> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Create an application with a DateField
> 2. Set your time zone to one that uses Daylight Saving Time (in my case GMT-03:00 - Brasilia)
> 3. Run your application and try to choose the first date of DST for that locale (In my case 19/10/2008, but it was 12/10/2008 before an optional update from MS to fix this)
>  
>  Actual Results:
>  It shows the day before the selected one, ie: 18/10/2008, instead of 19/10/2008. If I click on button, the panel shows the correct date as selected though.
>  
>  Expected Results:
> Show the correct date. 
>  
>  Workaround (if any):
>  None that I could find.
> By debugging, I could see that the Date object returned by DateChooser is already wrong. In my case, its value is 2008-10-18 23:00 (Year-Month-Day Hour-Minutes), and UTC is 2008-10-19 02:00, so it was reduced by one hour.
> Other time APIs (such as java's) will increase the time in this case, as 2008-10-19 00:00 didn't exist, resulting in  2008-10-19 00:01. It's a pain as well, but at least it's arguably correct.
> However, reducing it by one hour just seems completly wrong. And showing a date different from the selected on is not acceptable.
