Timezones with the same identifier defaults to first listed
requested to merge 61864-timezones-with-the-same-identifier-defaults-to-the-first-in-the-list into master
What does this MR do?
#57654 (closed) introduced user preferences for displaying time and storing their timezone.
Locations in the same timezone can share an identifier ie
{"name":"International Date Line West","offset":-39600,"identifier":"Pacific/Midway"}
{"name":"Midway Island","offset":-39600,"identifier":"Pacific/Midway"}This introduces a UI bug, where the first location to match the identifier is always selected, which might not be the location the user selected
Summary
- Fixes #61864 (moved)
- Ensures the location the user selects is the location they see when they refresh the screen
Possible fixes
- Store the user location and timezone separately
- When the timezone dropdown loads, find the user's selected timezone by location not identifier
Closes #61864 (moved)
