RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jay Turner 2010-05-11 17:31:12 UTC 
Created attachment 413208 [details]
Clock applet before hovering

Description of problem:
A bit of fit-and-finish here.  The issue does not impact the functionality of the applet, but falls into the "dumb bugs" category as it gives off a decidedly unprofessional feel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.28.0-21.el6 (although appears to happen with earlier versions of the applet as well.)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure at least one location which will appear as a different day
2. Move the cursor down the list, which should force the "Set" button to appear
  
Actual results:
When the set button appears beside one of the long strings (showing time, day and TZ offset) the applet will resize itself wider, sometimes forcing the left side of the applet off of the display.

Expected results:
The applet doesn't resize.  Don't know if the way to achieve this is to make the applet wider during initialization or cut down on the "day" display (showing "Wed" instead of "Wednesday" for example.)

Additional info:
After looking at this on a few systems, I'm not sure how widespread the problem really is . . . might only happen when for "Wednesday" due to the character-length.

Although the "Set" button is not visible, note that the applet has stretched off the left side of the screen.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-06-08 17:08:30 UTC 
We should consider fixing this for GA, but clearly should not block GA for this bug. Changing from blocker to exception.

devack.
