default today date is one day before in date widgets for timezones west of UTC (neg. offset)

I don't see this behavior. What is your browser or OS timezone? Can you try to switch to Central European time or something else and see if you still reproduce this issue?

Actually, I managed to reproduce it by switching to Rio (BRST) as my Ubuntu timezone, and reopening the web client (on FF).

The trace of the JSON default_get call shows that the server is returning the proper date:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "r222", "result": {"name": "PO00022", "partner_address_id": false, "company_id": 1, "warehouse_id": 1, "invoice_method": "order", "state": "draft", "pricelist_id": false, "date_order": "2012-01-26", "shipped": 0, "invoiced": 0}}

So I imagine this could be because the conversion is done on a pseudo-timestamp with 00:00:00 as the time, and "2012-01-26 00:00:00 UTC" is indeed "2012-01-25 22:00:00 BRST".

Hello Olivier,

yeah, I just did the same kind of manipulation and indeed, setting my
client timezone to Europe/Paris it suddenly started to work properly. Now,
setting it back to America/Sao Paulo makes to bug appear.
Also note that the GTK client doesn't have such a bug.

For the record, this was fixed at revision 2067 revid: <email address hidden>, so the web client should now behave exactly like the GTK client.

Hello I confirmed it's fixed indeed. Thanks a lot!
