            Bug ID: 335556
           Summary: Date() constructor treats time as UTC instead of
                    localtime
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 4.13.1
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kjs
          Assignee: konq-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: wbauer@tmo.at

When creating a new Date() object with a specific date/time, that passed time
is treated as UTC, although it should be localtime.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached html file in Konqueror

Actual Results:  
Wrong time is displayed (according to your time zone)

Expected Results:  
The time that is passed to the constructor should be shown.

Other browsers, like Firefox or even Konqueror with the WebKit engine, treat
the time as local time. 

The specification does not clearly state whether that time should be treated as
UTC or localtime AFAICS, but there's an explicit note in the documentation of
the Date.UTC() function:
NOTE    The UTC function differs from the Date constructor in two ways: it
returns a time value as a Number, rather than creating a Date object, and it
interprets the arguments in UTC rather than as local time.
