Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

org-clock-in in org-clock.el calculates org-clock-total-time via calling
(org-clock-sum-current-item (org-clock-get-sum-start)).
However, org-clock-get-sum-start returns the time in UTC, which is not
considered by org-clock-sum-current-time.

My time zone if UTC+8 and org-clock-mode-line-total is 'today. Hence
org-clock-total-time is gives total time starting from 8am today (which
is midnight in UTC) instead of midnight in UTC+8.

This sounds like a continuation of Org mode’s timezone issues.

The original thread (which is long-winded):

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2017-11/msg00000.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2017-11/msg00027.html

The second bug, also timezone issues:

Indeed. This is a leftover from timezone issues. I removed it.

Thank you.

(while (not yant/check-from-field-before-sending-bug-report)
       (insert "I will always check my From field before sending bug report.\n"))

P.S. Does anyone know how to set alternative default sending account for bug
reporting specifically?
