Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits.
Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the package which shows Time and Date on the top menu.

After I enabled option "Time in other locations" in All Settings -> Time & Date, it had "UTC". I specified a city and closed the window.
After I click on Date and Clock (top menu) and notices that there are another locations which I did not specify.

After that I opened All Settings -> Time & Date windows again and deleted all locations (Screenshot 1).
When I clicked on Date and Clock (top menu) I saw two location "None" and the city of my current time zone (Screenshot 2).

I think it's a bug. I understand that "None" is UTC time, but I did not specify to show it so it should not be displayed.
I also did not specify "Melbourne" time as I already have it on the panel, so it should not be displayed as well.

Please fix.
Both screenshots are attached as archive.

I have the same problem. Also, when I attempt to add other (new) locations, it does not recognize the places to type, and I am given no option to select from per-existing places.

This feature was working fine for me as recently as a few days ago. But I noticed that it was not working correctly after completing a system update today.
