DateTime-attribute with localize=no shows Session Time

1

In a dataview, the same datetime attribute with localize no is shown. When changing the date in the editable field, I expect the date in the readonly field to change accordingly. However, for some reason, it shows the session time in stead of the UTC time! Why is this? NB. When commiting the object, the UTC datetime is stored, but this is very confusing for the users.

Pieter,

The incorrect time is shown only when the record has not been saved, after saving the read only field will display the correct UTC time. I consider this to be a bug so I suggest filing a bug report with support.
