Changing timezone (again)

Using the default ayatana-indicator-datetime clock from the MATE panel:
- one week ago, UTC+1 => UTC+8, the local time was rightly shifted by 7h
- now, UTC+8 => UTC+1, the local time was not shifted.
I used timedatectl set-time "yyy-mm-dd hh:mm" (local time) to set the time properly again.
Then I tried reproducing: it does not reproduce. However, exactly the same happened to me in a previous travel (to another time zone, on another computer).
What I do when moving between time zones: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
I've never had a problem of the time zone changing on itself.
Makes sense, indeed.
Thanks for the advice

Thanks.
However, this looks like a rather basic thing to do and not all Trisquel users want to command line, so I guess we should make sure that the graphical interface works for this. I'll try again changing the timezone with the MATE panel, at times I don't need it, to see if I find a way to reproduce what I saw.
EDIT: I can't see anything relevant at https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/ayatana-indicator-datetime/issues?q=timezone, I don't know whether that is the only place to look at.
Clearly your machines do not like to go westwards: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/changing-timezone.
If you are able to confirm that the glitch only happens when using MATE Time and Date Manager (mate-time-admin) to change your time zone, then you may want to report it upstream:
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues.
It transpired that mate-time-admin is currently under thorough revision:
