Handle dates that fall on Daylight Saving Time

Currently, it is not possible to enter a date that falls exactly on a Daylight Saving time.

Check the following example where it is not possible to enter 3 for the hours' section (it is also not possible to select 3 from the TimePicker popup):

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-nstdolh5-xfiws9nr

That behavior is expected as there is no such time in the Bulgarian time zone. Daylight saving time begins on 30 March 2025 03:00 when the time is moved 1 hour forward.

The demonstrated undesired behavior for the specific date will be reproducible only if the example is opened in the specified time zone. But the same behavior is valid for any other date that falls on Daylight Saving time in other time zones.

We should decide on what the expected behavior is for such cases. For example not allowing entering the value, displaying an error, auto-switching to the real hour (4 AM), etc.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the provided feedback.

The user is not expected to select 3:00 AM as a valid time. The feature request focuses on how to properly notify the user about this restriction, whether through a popup notification, automatically switching the time from 3:00 AM to 4:00 AM, or another method.

Currently, 3:00 AM is disabled in both the time picker popup and keyboard input without any visual indication explaining why it cannot be selected.

The user can still select any other time, except for the range between 3:00 AM and 3:59 AM.

Regards,
Martin Bechev

I think this is not a feature but a bug since it does not allow user to input a correct time (despite the fact that while starting to type it is evaluated as not valid).
