here you should suggest to set the clock according to the UTC time, not localtime, as the given time is interpreted to be UTC.


Reproducible: Always

Thanks for your report but please read the link you've given:

"If the date/time displayed is wrong, update it using the date MMDDhhmmYYYY syntax (Month, Day, hour, minute and Year). At this stage, you should use UTC time. "

We do suggest UTC already.
