digital clock layout

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I have a slim panel at the top of the screen with the digital clock applet at right most position. Since my upgrade to KDE 4.5.1 (from 4.3.x) the clock layout is completly broken most of the time. See attached screenshot.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Did you try to remove the digital clock and add it again?
Comment 2 Michael Reiher 2010-10-14 17:09:32 UTC
Yes. Doesn't help. Also note that the layout is not always broken. At the very moment it's fine here for instance (had to restart plasma after crash).

perhaps unrelated, but mine is broken too, it became very wide, 3 times the size it neds to be. adding a new panel with another clock does not solve the problem.

Cropped panel clock

I am also seeing my panel clock getting cut off. A snapshot is attached. It's not too bad here, but gets worse for double-digit hour values.
I've tried changing the font, adding/removing the clock but always looks the same.
KDE 4.4.5
Kubuntu 10.04

I have the same problem. I barely can see the hours and date. I'm using (KDE 4.5.3)

No matter what I can 't see the hours
Comment 7 Jeremy 2011-04-07 16:18:42 UTC
I was able to work around this issue by increasing the height of my panel.
Comment 8 lcn.mustard 2011-04-10 20:43:35 UTC
My monitor is small so I reduced the font, and enable anti-aliasing. Improved a little, but I'm still with the problem ... Thanks for the tip. It started after installing some updates and bug fixes in Lucid.

I am having the exact same problem, using 4.6.2.
