Weather feature in clock applet truncates (?) temperature

[era]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

The weather feature in the clock applet looks like it truncates the temperature.

I'm running Hardy beta 2008-03-20 from Live CD and see different temperatures in the clock panel and in the balloon which pops up when you hover over the cloud icon. The truncation is a weak hypothesis; I haven't been using it long enough to tell whether the temperature it shows is the last digit of the temperature, or something else.

The screen shot only shows part of the balloon -- looks like the "Take Screenshot" thingy is also kinda beta ...

For what it's worth, making the clock display only the time (no date, no seconds) doesn't help at all.

This is on amd64, for the record.

Could be bug #188183 as well I guess.

Now it shows 8C in the panel and 5.5C in the pop-up, so looking more and more like a duplicate of #188183, except this is in the clock applet, not the weather applet. I guess they use the same code base?

I thought I filed this against gnome-applets, sorry if this is in the wrong package.

Hmm, looks like a lot of related bugs are in gnome-panel.
