Bug Description

My calendar is misbehaving. I had this problem way back in 2021, on both Windows and Ubuntu, then it went away. Now it's back. I am exclusively on Ubuntu now.

I have my google calendar synced to Ubuntu/Gnome. So my meetings result in OS notifications. I even installed a program that plays a very loud and annoying sound for calendar alerts (gaudible).

I did not get a notification for an important meeting. While looking into it, I literally watched the meeting jump forward by two hours without me doing anything. The meeting was scheduled for 3 PM eastern today, so 1 PM mountain (my timezone). Now it is sitting at 3 PM mountain.

When this happens, the notification does not come at the right time, and I miss meetings. I have no idea whether the problem is in Google Calendar or Gnome, but I suspect that Gnome is "fixing" the meeting and doing it incorrectly.

When I was on Windows, I had Thunderbird syncing the calendar. I think Thunderbird was doing the same sort of "fixing".

This is not an isolated incident. It has happened quite a few times. Somebody schedules a meeting for a certain time in their timezone, and when I look at it, it's at the right time. Later, the time has changed to the wrong time and I don't get a notification for the meeting until after it's over.
