Timezone and DST not working
I have tried setting the "automatically detect timezone settings" option rather than forcing it and it does not seem to work properly
e.g. at the moment , with auto-detect, it identifies time for "Beijing , Perth, Singapore, Hong Kong" as being an hour earlier than the time is
As another example, the same situation exists for Eastern Australia

It's working for me. I just posted in a thread after reading this thread, and the post time matched east coast time zone (IB is on west coast). Yup, my laptop says 5:10pm & so does the post time of this post. I've never had to futz with settings. Sorry to hear of others having problems.
Cheers.
Cheers.

It is an issue that repeats twice a year; there is something incorrect with the way that the software deals with timezones ; different countries move differently and on different dates to the USA

According to the webpage with country of Australia

Settings in profile are
Time Zone GMT +10 Eastern Australia, Guam, Vladivostok
Automatically detect DST settings
Either the GMT time or DST settings seem to again be automatically being detected incorrectly
GMT is 00:24
With DST in effect - time zone here is GMT+11

Yes, likewise here in Thailand which does not observe any form of DST. The FT site says "All times are GMT +7. The time now is 12:07pm." when in fact it is 11:07am here.
Slightly OT, but it would also be great to get a 24-hour clock option.

I will add a hearty second for a twenty-four hour clock option! ^

The time zone issue has occurred again
According to FT, with auto detect of DST the time in Eastern Australia , Guam and Vladivostok is 1 hour ahead of the time in NSW in Eastern Australia
Is it possible to get the DST errors fixed rather than having to disable the feature?
