Description Unknown 2009-06-11 11:44:44 UTC
Version:           ismeretlen (using 4.2.89 (KDE 4.2.89 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090603)) "release 1", KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.21-0.1-default

I use Hungarian fuzzy clock and sometimes it doesn't display the clock variable.

I attach a screenshot, too. In that you can see the string "Húsz perc múlva" which means only: "Twenty to".

Bug in the fuzzy clock
Comment 2 Marco Martin 2009-06-11 12:43:01 UTC
i think there could be 2 possible reasons:
-text painted but clipped away
-i18n issue

i'm leaning trough the second one maybe
Comment 3 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-06-12 02:19:43 UTC
this is almost certainly an i18n issue; if it was text clipping away, then it's clipped away very neatly ;)
Comment 4 Unknown 2009-06-16 18:47:40 UTC
As I could check, the translated .po file is OK (here it is: http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/l10n-kde4/hu/messages/kdeplasma-addons/plasma_applet_fuzzy_clock.po ).
Comment 5 Theo Chatzimichos 2010-01-13 15:19:37 UTC
Is this still valid with 4.4 RC?
Comment 6 Unknown 2010-01-15 12:23:46 UTC
Three days after exhaustive testing I can bravely tell that this bug has been eliminated. :)
Comment 7 Dario Andres 2010-01-15 19:35:45 UTC
Closing as WORKSFORME. Reopen if you experience this bug again with a recent KDE SC version. 
Regards

Here is an other screenshot showing "half past".

After upgrading KDE from .86/.87 to .90 (all are RC 1) this bug appeared again. It's possible it's not a regression just it didn't occured for three days.
Comment 9 Unknown 2010-01-23 17:45:15 UTC
A few days ago I resized my panel to be 80% wide and aligned to center. Maybe the not-full-sizing causes this bug?
Comment 10 Nicolas L. 2010-06-07 08:56:08 UTC
Can you reproduce using KDE 4.4.4 or 4.5beta?
Comment 11 Unknown 2010-06-07 21:36:46 UTC
Installing KDE 4.5 beta messed up everything, so I've got just a plain background with nothing on that (Alt+Tab rulz).

So please be patient, nowadays a panel is a luxury, not to mention a fuzzy clock :)
As soon as the situation calms down, I'll test it.

Missing day

No, I'm afraid, this bug still occurs. As you can see in the picture, after the "jún. 15.," the day is missing (saturday - sat). This was always happening along with the aforementioned behavior ie. the $clock was cut.
Comment 13 Thijs 2011-12-02 16:36:53 UTC
I've never seen this behaviour in my fuzzy clock (in english). But it seems to be a clipping issue indeed; when changing my language to hungarian and the time to the exact same as the latest example, I see the same behaviour. As soon as it is 5 past 5, the day is shown again. Dutch does the same. This only happens in the panel when space is an issue.
Comment 14 Marco Martin 2011-12-02 17:24:44 UTC
what seems to be happening is the time being narrower than the date, but this case seems to be taken into account in the code..
Comment 15 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-05-16 09:28:10 UTC
Any news on this?
Comment 16 Unknown 2012-06-02 08:09:40 UTC
Is the fuzzy clock among the standard plasmoids in 4.8? I've been searching for that for some minutes, but I can't find. I have a digital clock, a world clock and an analogue clock only.
I can't find "fuzzy" in zypper either and the software.opensuse.org (OBS API) is currently down.

I have it here in Kubuntu 12.04, and there doesn't seem to be any problem. Now in your locale I don't know.

Hello! Plasma 4 was replaced by Plasma 5 four years ago by the KDE community. In that time we have made great strides in stability and functionality. We are closing all Plasma 4 bugs as most of them are no longer applicable to the new frameworks Plasma 5 is built upon. If you could, please re-test with the latest version of Plasma 5, and submit a new bug to "plasmashell" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
