Bug Description
gnome-control-
gnome-control-
1. start gnome-control-
2. choose "Time & Date"
3. choose "Clock" and "Choose Locations..."
4. Click on a big green + sign
5. *Quickly* type the name of a time zone, e.g. "PST" (Pacific Standard Time) or "CET" (Central European Time), and press Enter.
What happens: An error icon appears next to what you typed, but it's not obvious what went wrong. The error icon has a tooltip, "You need to complete this location for it to appear in the menu", but this tooltip is not clear and its existence is not obvious anyway.
What should happen: Either some dialog appears where I can choose a timezone or I'm allowed to type actually something into the row.

I tried to reproduce this problem, but could not:
* The column had a "Location" header, making it relatively obvious what I was supposed to type in that column.
* Typing "PST" and pressing Enter didn't give me an empty row, it gave me Pstigrom, Afghanistan.
* Typing "CET" and pressing Enter didn't give me an empty row, it gave me the text "CET" and an error icon because it wasn't a recognized location.
Could you perhaps give more detail of the sequence of clicks and keypresses you used to achieve the empty row? Thanks.
