Description Thomas Thym 2009-03-03 09:19:37 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When seconds are displayed in the analog clock widget the jump not exactly every second. The same behavior has the binary clock.
The digital clock is working correctly. 

If you add the 3 widgets side by side you see that binary and analog clock are changing simultaneously (but wrong) and the digital clock correctly and not in sync with the other two.

sorry, it goes forward once per second, as close to the second as it can get .. but it's not guaranteeably perfect for any number of reasons.

Video of the "jumping" clock

Hi Aaron,
sorry for my imprecise description and thanks for your quick response. 

The behavior of the clock isn't always "wrong". Today in the morning the seconds jumped every second. Now (lunchtime) the strange behavior returned. Unfortunately I don't know how to reproduce it. 
This attachment is a screencast I made. 

Sure this is not a priority bug.

I'm not a coder but perhaps it has something to do with those memory bugs (182900 and 184394). The strange second jumps are associated with rising memory usage of Plasma (so far as I can say now). And I try to figure out if it is linked to the fact if I have Internet access or not.
