When selecting the timezone by clicking on the location of the indicated cities on the world-map there is no indication of which city the mouse is currently hovering over. While it should be expected by a user to at least correctly identify his timezone it would make it much easier if there is a text-field showing the timezone to be selected.
The original timezone selection class TimezoneMap of system-config-date indicates the city currently pointed to in the status bar. Anaconda subclasses this as AnacondaTZMap which doesn't update the status bar or anything else. Changing component back to anaconda.
Too late for RHEL5 GA, unfortunately. I've committed this to the head branch for the next release of Fedora. For getting it into a RHEL update, you'll need to go through the proper support channels once it's released. Thanks for the bug report.
