Bug Description

I recently travelled to London from the eastern United States. I was able to easily change my system time zone to London using the date/time indicator however my appointments in Thunderbird (Lightning) did not update to reflect the change. I had to dig through the preferences window in Thunderbird to change Lightning's time zone.

It's in universe, and not integrated into the desktop anyway (unlike Evolution), unassigning.

Isn't TB the new default MUA in Ubuntu? I suppose (hope) that the calendar extension is included in this move?

By design, this doesn't happen automatically. You have to go to Preferences -> Calendar -> General, and manually set the time zone. I'd recommend attaching the upstream bug here from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org if the feature request exists. If not, create it there and then link here so we can track it.
