Bug Description
Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 Alpha up to Beta
ubiquity:
Installed: 1.7.10
Candidate: 1.7.10
Version table:
*** 1.7.10 0

If you compare the 7.10 and 8.04 version of picking the time zone / city on a map, the new way is kind of annoying you have to be precise about your every mouse move over the city you want to choose. If you see the screenshot, you'll see that I somehow managed to highlight with the mouse over 3 cities at the same time.
I think the old way of choosing (click to zoom, click at city) was much more convenient.
It would be better if you reverted back to the Gutsy map to choose a country / city / time zone.

I agree. Installing Hardy Alpha 6, the sensitivity for choosing the time zone is way too high. It is very difficult to chose now, where it only took little time in Gutsy.
