The right date is shown as soon as there is another edit outside this timeframe.

Expected results

The correct date for each chunk of edits is displayed.

Actual results

The edits are correctly split into chunks by day but the date of the latest day is wrong.

Hi @ABorbaWMF

If you have trouble reproducing and testing the issue, here I can provide some steps while fixing the issue.

Set your device time zone to Germany (GMT +2 instead of GMT +1)
Add both https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann-Peter-Hebel-Grundschule and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnasium_am_Deutenberg_Villingen-Schwenningen to your watchlist.
Make sure close and open the app to make sure the time is applied correctly.

Appears to be fixed on 2.7.50483-beta-2024-04-18
