Description of problem: when closing and/or alt-tab out from a fullscreen application, the time won't change and you have to hover and/or click on it to refresh. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-clocks-3.38.0-1.fc33.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.38.1-1.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch a fullscreen application, media player or play a video on youtube in fullscren. 2. play for a few minutes. 3. leave fullscreen mode and/or tab back to desktop. 4. hover over or click with your mouse on the clock in your taskbar. Actual results: clock remains stuck, (example: "08:03", when in fact it's 08:51). Expected results: clock should always show the current local system time. Additional information: the only thing I've changed or added is one world clock.
Can confirm, laptop running Fedora 33 beta that I manage also experiences this after closing a full screen video. They also told me that moving their cursor over the clock will trigger an update. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2973 seems to be the upstream bug report.
Can confirm this is also present on Fedora 33 final. This was not an issue on Fedora 32. to Reproduce 1.) open an app in Full Screen mode. 2.) wait for the time to change ( look at the phone etc...) 3.) hit windows key and look at the time. (will stay like this till you mouse over.) Actual results: clock remains stuck, (example: "08:03", when in fact it's 08:51). Expected results: clock should always show the current local system time. Additional information: nothing added to clocks. As stated this was a non issue on Fedora 32.
If I understand correctly, this is about the time shown in the gnome taskbar, not about the gnome-clocks application. Therefore, I reassign to gnome-shell for further triage. (Simple test: Try again after you uninstalled gnome-clocks. Pretty sure you you'll able to reproduce without it.)
I think it was fixed some time ago and I haven't run into this bug on Fedora 34 (beta).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '33'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
