Description Jan Bidler 2025-05-28 17:13:23 UTC

SUMMARY
If the clock widget is in a panel, and the setting "show timezone" is enabled, then the icon in the panel will be useless; it will show the timezone button cut-out and nothing more

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add an analog clock widget to the panel
2. Enable the "show timezone" setting

OBSERVED RESULT
The icon will show the timezone button cut-out (in my case "Europe/Berlin")

EXPECTED RESULT
Either the setting having no effect when its in the panel, or the button being next to the clock icon

We probably just want to hide this option for the panel.

This appears to be a display bug; the timezone isn't supposed to cover up the clock! I can reproduce the issue.

Okay, this is very interesting. I think what happens is that the timezone shoves the actual clock out of the way; the clock is still somewhat visible, but inverted. Maybe because the height gets subtracted into a negative number, causing a weird reflection? I'll take a look and try to patch this, but do bear with me as I am new.

Wow, this bug is quite stubborn. I'm having a lot of trouble patching it. If anyone is willing to help a newcomer, please reach out!
