Bug Description

When I navigate to System Settings - > Time and Date -> Clock -> Choose Locations, I'm prompted to add or remove a location from the current locations. When I click the new location icon, I can enter a location name, however I'm only offered an autocomplete list when there are three letters typed. For example, I would like to add "Beijing" to the list, but I'm only presented with an autocomplete list when I type "Bei", and "Beijing" is not on that list. Any more or fewer letters and the list disappears. If I type anything besides "Bei", I'm not presented with a list of possible options either.

Adding my own example of Bristol, UK

If I type "B r i s t o" then "Bristo (United Kingdom)" is displayed. A location which obviously does not exist.

I have to type the full city name of "Bristol" before I see the correct match.
