What Happened?

When creating a reminder for an event, the time span set to trigger a notification is applied after the event instead of before.

Here's an example of the time set in elementary OS calendar:

This is how Thunderbird reads it:

As well as the Fastmail calendar UI where it is actually hosted:

I've had this issue for ages, and I initially thought it was a timezone mixup. But now I can see it's a bug.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new event in Calendar
  2. Set a reminder for the event (e.g. 2 hours before)
  3. Go to another app to see the reminder setting to verify how it's applied

Expected Behavior

Events should trigger before, just like the Calendar UI communicates it.
