Symptoms

The TimeZone picker in IP16 vanilla does not appear to work correctly. While the Time Zone dropdown is displayed in the Date/Time picker on a UTC Date Time field, selecting a different Time Zone does not make any difference to the resultant value that is committed to the field/database.

Steps to reproduce...

1. 'Default Time Zone' SysPref set to '(GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney' and user's time zone also set to '(GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney'
2. Popup date/time picker control on any UI field of type DTYPE_UTCDATETIME
3. Set time with slider controls to be 8:00 AM and select Time Zone from dropdown to be '(GMT+08:00) Perth'
4. Click the 'Done' button
5. Field control now displays the value '08/11/2016 08:00:00'
6. Save and step off the record
7. Step back onto the record and field still displays '08/11/2016 08:00:00'
8. Expected field to display 08/11/2016 11:00:00 AM because user is set to Melbourne time zone.
