Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Well, I'm assuming this happened as a result of fixing that bug where the digital clock takes up two lines on the panel when the time is two digits (12, 11, etc). Now, however, the first number is just cut off, as the screen below shows. Not only that, but locking the widgets leaves this blank space at the end of the panel where the Plasma button used to be. So I guess the space the clock takes up needs to be bugger and it needs to learn to move over when the widgets are locked.
Created attachment 29661 [details] Screenshot of clock. Also, it only happens when the panel is small... making it bigger makes it go away.

are you sure it's the digital clock getting cut off, or is it the system tray overlapping it? try moving the clock to the left of the system tray and see what happens. if it is the tray, this is a dupe of #177968
i can't reproduce at all, and since the problem seems to trigger when the panel is locked it's really likely to be a dupe of that bug. Holly, can you test with a today's svn?
Created attachment 29770 [details] Clock bug Ok, the bug where there's blank space left when you lock the widgets is now gone, as I updated my builds. However, as you can see from the screenshot, the clock being cut off is still there and it happens regardless of the system tray. It all depends on the size of the panel, since it doesn't seem able to give the clock the needed space when it's too small.
Oh! I jsut thought of something else - all this might be because I, with my huge monitor and resolution, increased the overall text size in KDE from like 9 to 13, so the text is bigger than usual and maybe that's why you can't reproduce. I note that the smaller I make the panel, the less of the clock you can see.
Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE (4.2.2 / 4.2svn / 4.3svn) ? Thanks :)
Alas, yes I can. However, I found a workaround ages ago: I just turn on "Show day of the week" and it's fine. I think it has to do with the fact that my text is bigger than the default (I set it to font 13 for almost everything).
Here using: Qt: 4.5.0 + qt-copy-patches-942255 KDE: 4.2.70 (KDE 4.2.70 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090415)) kdelibs svn rev. 958964 / kdebase svn rev. 958965 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1 When using FontsSize=>13px (96dpi) I can get the cut clock when the panel height is minimal and some day options are active. However I don't know if it is the same bug.

Created attachment 34813 [details] expanded panel -> clock cut off on the right I think i have a similar issue with the digital clock. But it only happens if i set the panel to expand. I didn't change the system font. See attachments for screenshots.

Oh, I forgot: KDE 4.2.4, Debian unstable packages.
I still have this issue in KDE 4.3 RC1, compiled from sources.
Created attachment 35626 [details] Appearance of digital clock is damaged Same problem in Kubuntu 9.04, ppa-packages KDE 4.3rc3! On daychange at 0.000 the appearance of digital clock is damaged and invisible. When I enter the settings and click on OK, appearance is normal, until the date changes again. I had this problem since KDE4.3 beta2 I use Clean blend as plasma theme with Dejavu Sans as font. Perhaps its depending on panel height?
to summarize: * date must be showing (which date options, exactly? any combination?) * panel must be set to expanding? * problem triggers when date changes (any other triggers?)
Created attachment 35633 [details] Settings of digital clock Hi! Maybe this screenshot is helpful and answers your questions. Another trigger is a click on OK in the digital clock settings, then the clock works fine. If I repeat this, the clock damages again. I made a screencast to explaim that.
Created attachment 35634 [details] screencast to show trigger of bug
* date must be showing with year and day of the week. * panel must be set to expand. * as depicted in my screenshots, panel height must set so, that time and date are on one horizontal line. That's all. No other triggers needed.
It seems the panel does not expand when the clock changes its minimumsize. I've had a look at the digiclock, but can't really figure out what it does differently than the tasks applet where expanding horizontally works fine. The digital clock doesn't seem to be able to expand the panel horizontally.
This has been fixed in 4.4.0
