Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When reminders in evolution-calendar are set to appear in days before the event they show the time remaining for the event as if the event was in the same day, which is incorrect. I added a screenshot of a reminder of a event on June 26, 2008 that poped-up on June 25, 2008 saying that there was ~ 1:30 hours left for the event. The true is that the event would be next day.

1. ubuntu: 8.04
2. package: evolution v.2.22.2 (2.22.2-0ubuntu1.3)
3. The expected behaviour was to show the correct number of days remaining
4. it shows the number of hours remaining in the wrong day
