Due to commit d285b818f637f8e30f4239b0f724b73db260b111 in plasma-framework, the default subtext for plasma tooltips has 8 lines; considering that the digital clock uses the first two lines to show the time in the current timezone and as empty spacer, it effectively leaves only 6 timezones shown in the tooltip of the clock. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a digital clock applet 2. select more than 6 timezones in the configuration of the clock applet 3. look at the tooltip of the applet Actual Results: The tooltip of the applet shows 6 timezones instead of all the selected ones. Expected Results: All the selected timezones are shown in the tooltip; or, in general, all the lines set by the applet should be shown. The referenced commit adds that limit in what seems a way to workaround some problem in klipper; ideally, this hack should be removed, and klipper fixed (if still buggy).

Thanks for the report Just out of curiosity, how many timezones you actually have/need?
/me jumps in The old clock status was/is a really good tool when interacting with colleagues around, so that I had 18 timezones. I could kill 3 of them, but still... (the aspect itself of the tooltip and the time it stays open are matters for other bugs :)
Git commit f5297033c4a0fba416b971f2bdbcb04c56858947 by Martin Klapetek. Committed on 04/01/2016 at 18:03. Pushed by mklapetek into branch 'master'. [digital-clock] Improve clock's tooltip layout In kde4 times, the layout of clock's tooltip was nicely arranged using a table. Now it's a bit of a mess so this brings back some nice layout. Also simplifies the timeForZone function which is used only for the tooltip.
