When I edit an existing entry the post date jumps ahead by an hour meaning I have to manually remove it before saving the changes.

I thought it may have something to do with the timezone but this is set to the correct timezone.

Has anyone come across this?

    Yes! Is it in Firefox? And are you in a timezone that is not UTC? If so (like me) then it will jump by the offset I think. It is essentially a bug with FF (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1227499) because if you type new Date() into the console of FF you get the wrong time there. – Josh Angell May 11 '16 at 11:39
  • Yes I'm using FF and I'm set to the London timezone. I'm going to test it out on chrome! Thanks for the link – JRW May 11 '16 at 12:14
  • No worries! Yes I chatted with Brad of P&T and we just agreed to not use FF ... – Josh Angell May 11 '16 at 12:49
  • Ran into this too. It's a very strange bug in FireFox. Even in the latest version - 46.0.1. Just as well there are other decent browsers about. – John Macpherson May 11 '16 at 14:32

Adding as an official answer since we've had a handful of reports about this. Best we can tell it's a bug in Firefox that happens when you live in a non-UTC timezone. There are several Date related bugs in Mozilla's bug tracker, but this one looks to be the most relevant: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1227499
