Description Viktor S 2009-12-02 20:03:15 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

As description says; setting the digital clock to showing both the year and day of week results in the digital clock flickering really fast between two layouts of display as shown in the screenshots here:

It happens extremely fast and of course makes this setting impossible. Setting the options individually does not reproduce the problem as seen here:

This problem was not present with 4.3.3 and QT 4.5.3 but started appearing after my upgrade to 4.3.4 and QT 4.6.

Can you retry with KDE 4.4.1 please and QT 4.6.1 or 4.6.2. I can't reproduce so I'm closing it. If you reproduce in 4.4.1 please do include screenshots as attachements in the bug report and not as external links.
Thanks in advance.

Confirmed; cannot reproduce it here either with KDE 4.4.x and QT 4.6.x
