Time Parsing Issue (DST vs Standard) on Chrome w/ Win7

[USCJ Digital]

I believe I may have found a bug impacting Chrome on Windows 7 - possibly a regression from an earlier version of Chrome that has popped in with V71:

1. Using Chrome on Windows 10 (and probably MacOS - but I don't have a Mac and therefore cannot test), create an event for on or after March 10 when we transition from Standard to Daylight Savings time.
2. The event time, for example is 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Eastern.
3. Using Firefox, Chrome, and Edge on Windows 10, the time appears correctly for the event
4. Using Firefox on Windows 7, the time appears correctly for the event
5. Using Safari on iOS, the time appears correctly for the event
6. On Chrome, on Windows 7 - the time is "shifted" as the switch from Standard to Daylight Savings time is not accounted for
7. The above also manifests for events previously created (just noticed this today, so thinking it really has something to do with the Chrome/Win7 combo ... possibly since the update to Chrome 71 since I never noticed this before).

I have confirmed that all the systems I am testing on are set to Eastern (Standard) Time, the system time for the devices is correct, and as mentioned above - Firefox on Win7 reads the time correctly.

Doing a bit of research, this seemed to be an issue with other users over the past summer with previous versions of Chrome.

Can anyone reproduce this? Is this something Invision can compensate for, or is this just a weird bug on Chrome when using on Win7?

Just FYI for anyone else encountering this issue, I believe this may actually be a bug with Chrome v71:

The above bug thread has been merged into this one ... looks like a Chrome bug on Win7 that will be resolved with an interim release:

For anyone concerned: Chrome 71.0.3578.98 was released today and appears to have resolved the issue on Windows 7. 🙂
