From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/9.00 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Description of problem: The clock in the gnome panel shows a garbled text, apparently consisting of two superimposed texts, the time that was first shown when the applet started, and the current time. The weekday is only shown once, but the month, day, and time is garbled. However, when I move the mouse to the applet, at the moment when a raised frame around the applet, and the "tool-tip" yellow textbox appears, the applet time becomes clean and shows the current time only. There is a possibility that the bug only happens if the applet has ever been moved inside the panel. I can't remember if I did, because I have had this bug some time without bothering to report it or research it. Yet I am not sure it has been there all the time since I upgraded to FC4 in June 2004, or even since I updated gnome-panel in September. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.10.1-10.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move mouse up to top edge of screen, to have the auto-hiding upper panel drop down. Keep the mouse away from the end of the panel where the clock will appear. If this does not happen to you, try moving the clock. Right-click in the clock, and select "move" in the context menu. move the mouse left or right and left click in the new position. Actual Results: Jan 12, 12:34:00 is superimposed on the current time, as if the starting time has become part of the background. Expected Results: Current time should be shown on a clean background. Additional info: If I change the properties, unchecking the "show date" part, the text "Jan" remains under where the seconds is displayed (which is where the month name used to be. The text becomes shorter without the date). (It is first of February now, so this is the old month.) When I subsequently reenable "show date ", the old starting time is not redisplayed, but the old month name appears twice, once over/under the current month, and once under the hour:min part, leaving the seconds to display cleanly. I just moved the clock to a new position in the panel, and the current time at the time of the move becomes a new background upon which the current time is superimposed.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
