The clock is sometimes shifted left

[Martin]

When resuming from sleep after locking my screen, GDM (or at least I'm assuming the lock screen is from GDM?) will sometimes first draw the time too far to the left (attachment 1), and when the minute changes, the old time isn't cleared properly so the time looks broken (attachment 2).

I don't know how to reproduce the issue, other than it occasionally happens when I open my laptop. I'm using Wayland for both GDM and the GNOME session, on a laptop with Intel graphics (HD Graphics 5500 on an Intel Core i5-5200U).

I will be running GDM and GNOME on X11 for a while from now to see if the issue still occurs there.

[Martin (martid0311)]

It seems to only happen when using a Wayland GNOME session; it doesn't happen when both GDM and GNOME are using X11, nor does it happen when GDM is using Wayland but GNOME is using X11. I suppose it's probably not really a GDM issue then, but rather a GNOME issue.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I've commandeered this bug a bit to track a current issue that's still happening:

The above link is actually bug 1882291, which is different.
