Bug Description
I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, and I have noticed that when I enable seconds to be displayed in the time in the gnome-tweak-tool that the date and time seem to jump around a lot on the locked screen. As I couldn't take a screencast of this, I downloaded Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 and put it into a VM, but when running it in the VM in addition to the jumping around there were also strange shadows being made most of the time behind the text which is not something that happens on the host so it's all very strange... I have attached a screencast of this.
Though I also tested this in a Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.18 and there are no strange shadows nor jumping there, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the GNOME version, but rather something more linked to the Ubuntu GNOME version. I also tested it in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.19, and it was fine there as well.

Though this may turn out to have more to do with Ubuntu GNOME than GNOME, I thought I would file a report on this upstream anyway: https:/ /bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 763231
