ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2022-03-29 09:35:09 UTC
Just the clock? The rest of the panel behaves?
Comment 2 Deepu 2022-03-29 09:52:21 UTC
I have noticed it just for the clock widget. The out-of-the-box one as well as a third party one called Better inline clock. The behavior is the same even if the clock is added to desktop instead of a panel.
Comment 3 Deepu 2022-03-29 10:45:04 UTC
Btw Analog clock widget seems to be fine, something to do with digital clock widgets

Image showing the frozen clocks

Here is a screenshot showing different clocks. The analog one shows the correct time the other two are stuck at different times. This doesn't have the "Better inline clock widget" as its on another activity but that is also stuck at 3:17 PM, 28 March
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-08-28 19:55:35 UTC
Does the whole panel visually freeze, or just the clock?

Are you using an NVIDIA GPU?
