time displays incorrectly on vertical panel

[Christian Kellner]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If my gnome panel is shown on the right side of my laptop (vertically) the date displays correctly, but the time is shifted to the right and displays only partially. I.e. a 7 looks just like a short /

Thanks for your bug report. Can you attach a screenshot of the problem?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I've forwarded that upstream, you can open GNOME bugs to bugzilla directly Christian ;)

it looks like this on the right side:

The bug has been fixed upstream

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug is fixed in gutsy now

[Tom Haddon (mthaddon)]

Will this be fixed in Feisty? Looks like upstream is fixing it in 2.18, so does that mean it'll get updated in Feisty?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

we don't upload new version to stable, it might be a backport candidate. There has been few requests though it's low on the list

I also have this problem. It was fine in Edgy. I think it should be fixed in Feisty. It's not always feasible or convenient for me and other people to upgrade to every new version of the system when it comes out. This is such a basic thing and the introduction of a bug in Feisty where there wasn't one in Edgy. It seems sloppy to leave it broken. Thanks.

That only a cosmetic issue and feisty is not a LTS, not likely to be backported

[cb474 (cb474)]

I wouldn't call it only cosmetic. As it stands, on my system, the date is unreadable. It may seem like a small thing, but I think checking the date and time is a very very basic thing one does all the time. It speaks to the elemental usability of the system. This is not just a cool 3D effect or something that doesn't work.
