After having issues with my calender last week link text that turned out to be a lost time zone setting, a reboot fixed that. But now, two days later, the time zone was gone again. Checking it showed it to be empty. A reboot fixed it again, but it feels like a bug to me.

Any idea on how to debug / try to find where or what the bug is?

In terminal, type this and post the output back here;

timedatectl status

(I took the liberty of reducing your image by 50%).

Time zone is set to "Automatic update"

timedatectl status Local time: Tue 2016-09-27 12:39:03 CEST

Universal time: Tue 2016-09-27 10:39:03 UTC

Timezone: n/a (CEST, +0200)

NTP enabled: n/a

NTP synchronized: no

RTC in local TZ: no

DST active: yes

Last DST change: DST began at Sun 2016-03-27 01:59:59 CET Sun 2016-03-27 03:00:00 CEST

Next DST change: DST ends (the clock jumps one hour backwards) at Sun 2016-10-30 02:59:59 CEST Sun 2016-10-30 02:00:00 CET

So this is waht it looks like right now, I will do the same when the time zone is lost again (if that happens)

Right now my timezone setting is lost again. Calendar items are 2 hours off. But running timedatectl status seems the same to me as it was above when the timezeone setting still was correct

A reboot fixes the issue btw...

Annoying though eh, a user shouldn't have to reboot to fix niggles like this. I wonder if reinstalling tzdata via terminal might fix the problem?, if I could replicate the problem you are having, I would test it to find out.
