The behavior was already changed in git master:

Comment 2 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:10:29 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 3 Egmont Koblinger 2015-05-06 08:13:20 UTC 
The bugreport is about vte291-0.38.x and gnome-terminal 3.14 which removed this feature; not about vte3-0.36.x which is used by gnome-terminal <= 3.12.
Comment 4 Pete Zaitcev 2015-05-06 14:19:40 UTC 
I don't understand. For me, the sequence of events was:
 - I installed Fedora 21. The double-clock broke.
 - I installed Fedora 22. The problem is gone.

I verified retroactively, and F21 has (broken):
vte3-0.36.3-3.fc21.x86_64
gnome-terminal-3.14.2-2.fc21.x86_64

F22 Beta has (working):
vte3-0.36.4-1.fc22.x86_64,
gnome-terminal-3.16.1-1.fc22.x86_64

How is this possible?
Comment 5 Egmont Koblinger 2015-05-06 15:47:42 UTC 
Gnome-terminal >= 3.14 does not / can not use vte3 <= 0.36.  Instead, it uses vte291 >= 0.38.

vte291-0.40 (as currently in Rawhide) changed the set compared to 0.38, and allows it to be customized again (gnome-terminal 3.16 has a hidden dconf setting for this, not available on the UI).
Comment 6 Egmont Koblinger 2015-05-06 15:53:49 UTC 
... that is, the bug could be closed as fixed, but the "fixed in version" should point to vte291-0.40...
Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 19:02:56 UTC 
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
