Michael,

However, the Grioups.io calender function seems to randomly assign
timezones to events and changes the time, regardless of what I select
in the timezone in the event or in the default time zone in the
settings section.

Each member has a Timezone setting on the Preferences page of their account; that controls how they see events in the calendars of their groups; and the timezone of events they create.

When looking at a group's calendar there's a duplicate of that Timezone control below the calendar grid. This provides a convenient way for a member to change his/her account timezone preference without navigating away from the calendar page.

The timezone setting in the Default Sub Settings tab of your group's Settings page provides a default for someone new who joins your group and has never previously joined a Groups.io group or set his/her account's timezone setting. Same with Time and Date display format.

When a member creates an event, it is defaulted to the timezone the member is currently using. However the member can change the event's timezone when creating or editing it. Each event can have its own timezone.

When a member looks at an event in the calendar, the event's timezone is used to calculate when the event should appear in the member's timezone.

For example, if a member in New York creates an event for 5pm Eastern, a member in Los Angeles looking at that event in Pacific time will see it as 2pm - adjusted for the three hour timezone difference.

Is this a known problem or am I doing something stupid?

I don't know of any problems with Groups.io's calendar timezone handling, I think you expected the timezone on the Default Sub Settings tab to do something it doesn't.

Shal
