[Gambas-user] Date(Now) with time component under Ubuntu?

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

To give you an idea of the problem, here is a code snippet from this 
second application, it is in Form_Open:

-----
   t$ = Date(Now)
   heute = String.Mid(t$, 4, 2) & "-" & String.Left(t$, 2) & "-" & 
String.Mid(t$, 7, 4)
   DerTag.Tag = Date(Now)
   DerTag.Text = "heute, " & Wochentag(Date(Now)) & ", " & 
Replace(heute, "-", ".")
-----



Today (4th December)
- t$ becomes "12.03.2018 23:00:00"
- 'heute' of course becomes "12-03-2018"

Now it's curious:
- DerTag.Tag becomes "04.12.2018 00:00:00" i. e. day and hour +1 !!

And of course, it goes wrong here:
- DerTag.Text becomes "heute, Dienstag, 03.12.2018"


How to solve this mess???

Rolf
