That's odd. I clearly see the problem in the screen recording.
I'm not able to reproduce this on two systems running git-master

In the recording, the panel is at the bottom. The clock is at the right side, showing only HH:MM PM (no date). I used the same settings as well as the default settings.

I'll leave this open in case someone else can reproduce.
Comment 2 cwo 2025-03-13 11:42:15 UTC
I can't reproduce this either. Does it also happen with other widgets, or only digital clock?
Comment 3 Filip 2025-03-13 13:03:43 UTC
Out of 6-7 I tried, I can reproduce this with Digital Clock and KDE Connect widgets. Also reproducible on a fresh user with all default settings.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2025-03-13 20:31:54 UTC
I also can't reproduce this at all.

Are you able to create a new user account to see if it happens in there too?
Comment 5 Filip 2025-03-14 11:32:01 UTC
I can reproduce on a new user
Comment 6 Justin Zobel 2025-05-30 00:25:58 UTC
I'm also unable to reproduce this issue on git master.

What GPU do you have?
Comment 7 Filip 2025-05-30 08:44:46 UTC
I have nvidia GTX 970, latest nvidia proprietary drivers. I can't reproduce this anymore so I'll close the bug. Thanks for looking into this.
