v.8.1.47  
ACDT timezone UTC+10:30

I have no idea what's going on here and I haven't seen this before, but I have a DateTime memory tag set to a date. If I edit its value in the tag browser, double clicking on it to edit it then shows a completely different time (offset by -2:30). It's as if the display and edit values are in different timezones... Both gateway and designer are in the same OS timezone.

I am seeing the same thing with datetimes displayed in the datetime component in Perspective: the prop in the prop editor shows a different datetime than the one shown in the browser

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am experiencing the same thing, it is driving me crazy.

Project -\> Project Properties -\> General (Vision or Perspective). What is the timezone in there for the project? Could be that you imported or opened a project set to a different timezone.
