Description

Switching the Theme in the UI system settings causes an instance that has been set to a different time zone (for example, Europe/London) to revert to the previous time zone setting.

Steps to Reproduce

    1. Log in to a demo OOB instance.

    2. Click the gear icon at the top right to access the System Settings pop-up window.

    3. Change the time zone from the currently set one (for example, the default US/Pacific) to a different one (for example, Europe/London) and then close the window.

    4. Click the gear icon again and verify that the different time zone was applied.

    5. In the System Settings window, change the Theme setting from the default System to another value, such as Blues, and then close the window.

    6. Verify that the different theme was applied.

    7. Click the gear icon again.

      Notice the time zone is set back to the previously selected one.
