Export/Import behavior of Trading Activity Log

Hi,

My time zone is UTC + 01:00, I am using custom settings, in purpose of
matching the daylight saving schedule in North America. So, if a trade
was placed at 15:33:42 local time, for example, that would be 09:33:42
in the morning, Eastern Time.

I noticed some bizarre behavior when I did export/import trading logs,
as attached .gif file demonstrates, the moment I hit "Export" under
File menu, the time in each record reduced by 2 hours, after I saved
the exported file and click anywhere in the window, those 2 hours are
added back again.

This behavior doesn't cause any inconvenience or inaccuracy at this point,
because if I clear the log and import the previous exported log, those
2 hours will also be added back.

I am just curious what might cause that.

Thanks very much
