<p>Steps to repo:
1. Create a milestone with a completion date (5/30/2011 for example)
2. Create a new case
3. Drop down the milestone select list</p>
<p>RESULT:
Select list displays "Milestone Name: 5/29/2011"</p>
<p>EXPECTED:
"Milestone Name: 5/30/2011"</p>
<p>This keeps confusing our testers because the milestone date is supposed to correspond to our release date. They freak out when they see it a day early.</p>

<p>Example:</p>
<p>FogBugz Server Time zone: Pacific Time<br>
User's 'My Settings -> Options -> Time Zone': Central Time</p>
<p>The user sets the Milestone date to 5/30/2011. The user is able to see the correct Milestone date, however other users in Pacific Time see 5/29/2011.</p>
<p>The only work-around I found was to make sure the user sets their Time Zone option to match the server (Pacific) when they set the Milestone date. After that, the user can set their Time Zone back (Central) and everything will show correctly for all users regardless of time zone.</p>
<p>Definitely a bug. Tested on versions 8.7.61.0 and 8.8.39.0.</p>
