Some places use incorrect UTC time zone offset

[Marius Gedminas]

Binary package hint: indicator-datetime

1. Click datetime indicator
2. Select "Preferences..."
3. Select the Clock tab
4. Enable [x] Time in other locations
5. Click Choose Locations...
6. Click [+]
7. Type "New York"
8. Wait a bit for the popup to pop up
9. Select one of the New Yorks *using arrow keys and Enter*.

Expected behaviour: you see current time in New York.

Actual behaviour: you see UTC time next to a label saying "New York".

It seems to work right if I use a mouse click instead of keyboard in step 9.

That's interesting, thanks for this bug report, it'll be very helpful.

This also happens for Perth (AUS) vs Sydney (AUS). While Sydney seems to use the correct time zone offset, Perth just uses UTC.

The workaround mentioned by Marius does not seem to work for me, so this is just broken.

When I was trying to reproduce this bug a bit later, I couldn't. So I must've been wrong when I though it mattered if I used the mouse vs the keyboard to select a location from the suggestions list.
