Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-datetime

indicator-datetime 0.1.98-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Natty

0. Make sure you aren't connected to the Internet
1. From the clock menu, choose "Time & Date Settings..."
2. Click "Unlock to change these settings".
3. In the "Location" field, enter "london".

What happens: A hundred or so options appear, none of which are "London" or even have the string "London" in them.

What should happen: London UK, London Ontario, and any other places called London appear.

So I can only see this bug when I'm not connected to the Internet (and I added that to the reproduction steps above). If you are sure you saw this when connected, perhaps there are two bugs here. But working on the non-connected bug, obviously, you wouldn't expect lots of London results. We'll match the tiny database we ship with, but it may not have London (I think it doesn't, in fact).
