Bug Description

In the "Time & Date" configuration, if I select:
- Weekday; and/or
- Date and Month
the clock will disappear from the taskbar.

The following do not cause the problem:
- 12- or 24-hour time
- Seconds

It may be related to the latest updates I installed. It didn't happen before I installed them but I have also rebooted and logged in and out as well so it may be unrelated.

Stephen. I punched "This bug affects me". You might want to do the same on mine if you determine it is the same as your bug. It appears to me that there is another reported bug that is the same, bug #1460285 dated 05/30/2015:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/1460285

"Ubuntu" appear to be snowed under with reported bugs, and I guess this is just a minor one.
