Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Set your phone time zone to a time zone far ahead of UTC (I used New Zealand - Auckland).
  2. Enable "Allow changing event time zones" in settings
  3. Create a weekly repeating event in a time zone such that the event would be a day ahead in the phone's time zone - for example, I create an event on October 15 at 12:00 in the America/Los_Angeles time zone (a Thursday)

Expected behavior

The event shows up as repeating on the next day, for example my event should repeat every Friday 07:00, since my phone's time is set to Pacific/Auckland

Actual behavior

Event is stored correctly, with the correct DTSTART, and shows correctly in other calendars, as well as ics RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=XX (e.g. TH for my example)
First event is missing. Further events show up as occurring on the weekday of the event's time zone, not phone time zone. Clicking the event, shows up. Clicking the event appears to show the weekday before the set weekday represented in the calendar.
See screen recording.

Additional information

Note this also seems to occur when creating events in another calendar app (e.g. Etar) and syncing them, and the ics export seems fine.
