Created attachment 135563 [details] screenshot showing of the magical wandering clock
so to be clear, the problem is that when the clock gets longer (because of a longer date string or something), it doesn't reshrink later?
It sometimes reshrinks if I left-click the clock.. other wise it keeps growing. Right-click doesn't seem to have the same effect as left-clicking it and if you first do a right-click, it won't reshrink with a following left-click. It doesn't naturally reshrink except upon restarting the session.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
I'll give the GNOME guys a break, it only took a complete rewrite to get rid of this.. closing as fixed in Development as the intlclock our one true future does indeed fix this, after years of this I have giving up on my youthful naivity. Embrace the future, all hail the intlclock.
