as a side note this only seems to happen in the 12 hour format, not the 24 hour format.

[Comment from a bug triager]
I could reproduce the bug using KDE SC 4.6beta2 (on ArchLinux 686)

(using a clean user account)
Steps to reproduce:
- Setup the 12 hour format on System Settings Locale
- Restart Plasma (this seems to be another bug, the date format change is not being recognized)
Plasma restarts and the digital clock is using the 12Hour format. The display is OK
- Go to the clock settings and check "Show date" and "Show year". Apply
Date and Year appear
- Decrease the panel height so both Time and Date are side by side (instead of Time above date). This is important.
- Go to the clock settings again and disable the "Show date" option. Apply
The digital clock will now only show the time, but the "AM"/"PM" word is chopped. The "M" is missing.

It is like some margins is missing due to some other missing relayouting on the clock settings change.

Locking/Unlocking the panel doesn't change the clock display bug.

Note: modifying the panel height again triggers a relayout on the clock that fixes the issue.

Note: this doesn't happen if the clock is using the 24Hour format (so it may be related to a text-width calculation not considering the AM/PM word )
