Bug Description

Just installed 10.07.16

I go to Settings->Weather Indicator Settings
Select Celsius.
Enter Farnborough as my city (also happens with Winchester)
The dialog says "Do you mean Farnborough, Hampshire" I say yes.
I have tried with and without a label.
--> Invalid city in in the indicator, extended dialog does not open. Also Preferences shows that it didn't seem to save the Celsius setting.

If I detect location it says I'm in London, and that appears to work.

Currently this is not useful to me so I'll go back to the integrated version in the clock applet (BTW you should probably try to find the settings from that for migration purposes)

Changed in weather-indicator:
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → High

I experience a similar problem, for example with the city "Passau, Bavaria" (search for Passau). It is found, but then a red icon with a big white exclamation mark appears. When I click on the icon, it shows all weather data except the condition (like cloudy etc.). Temperature, humidity etc is all there. Forecast also works, including the weather conditions.

I also experience this with Waterford in Ireland. It detects my location as Waterford, Waterford during the set up stage, but once in operation fails to recognise and displays unknow location.
