Description of problem: Since I upgraded from F31 to F33 (alpha then beta) I can see several times a week my gnome-shell clock behind the real time by... Several minutes or even 1h. It is not a timezone issue. However, at some point, the clock just move forward to the right time. At first I expected a chrony/NTP server issues, however I just saw that the "date" commande is in sync and right. It might be the gnome-shell clock not being updated after fullsreen application or "screensaver" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.38.0-2.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: Not sur how to reproduce yet I just spotted that the issue might be in gnome-shell. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read the clock and compare to your next meeting time 2. Go make a coffee 3. Third coffee and still plenty of time? Check time on your wall clock… Alright, something is going wrong 4. The gnome-shell clock update to the right time "at some point" (at least several seconds to few minutes?) I'll try to check is this issue is "screen activity" related Actual results: gnome-shell clock is behind the system clock Expected results: gnome-shell clock in sync with the system clock Additional info: I don't see any useful log The clock is set as "network time" under the gnome setting panel. I already got this kind of bug. Might be related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635840
I can reproduce having my web browser full screen, after several minutes quit the full screen mode. The gnome-shell clocks is out to date. However, it goes forward to the real time once it is refreshing (at every least 59 seconds)
I can confirm that the wall clock is not updated, when an application like Firefox is in full screen mode and one presses the super-key to view the Gnome overview or one exits the full screen mode after some time. Hovering with mouse over the unsynchronized clock synchronizes it to the right time.

@(In reply to Jonas Ådahl from comment #3) > Could be https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2224. I don‘t think so, as in the linked bug the clock time is ahead of the real time by a constant time span while with my experience (and I think also with that of Raymond‘s), the clock stops at the time the full screen mode has been started.
GNOME issue here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3350
The GNOME issue linked in comment #5 appears to suggest that the clock will sync back up on the minute. However, I saw it out of sync by at least 10 minutes this morning when I had chrome, terminal, and hexchat running. I had gnome terminal running in full-screen mode, but it was in the background. Chrome and hexchat were maximized and I was tabbing between them. The clock was not refreshing (I was almost late to an IRC meeting because the clock was not advancing).
looks like the fix is shipped in 3.38.2 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2973 I don't know when this release is going to reach update-testing
