Description kolubat 2016-10-10 13:32:08 UTC
See the screenshot. The issue does not occur when setting the clock to display the US Eastern time zone (same as my system setting) instead of the Local option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a Digital Clock widget.

Actual Results:  
Time is wrong.

Expected Results:  
Time is right.

Can you also include your ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

selectedTimeZones=America/New_York


Apparently you've set the clock to show you new_york as the timezone and not local

Edit, just re-read your first comment.

So this config is with you doing the workaround, not the config for when it's broken?
Comment 7 kolubat 2016-10-10 14:16:17 UTC
Interesting, so even though "Local" is checked in the applet configuration window, it's not set to it in the configuration file? Weird. Also, why wouldn't they be the same? That's my system time zone, so either of them should show the same time...
Comment 8 kolubat 2016-10-10 14:17:24 UTC
Oh, no, I wasn't doing the workaround when I uploaded the configuration file. Maybe the applet and its configuration file were out of sync since I changed
Comment 9 kolubat 2016-10-10 14:18:02 UTC
Oh, no, I wasn't doing the workaround when I uploaded the configuration file. Maybe the applet and its configuration file were out of sync since I changed them to test the workaround recently?
Comment 10 kolubat 2016-10-18 21:27:25 UTC
It also happens with a new instance of the clock (which defaults to the broken "Local" time zone setting). In addition, the numbers on the clock tend to disappear after a reboot or two, leaving only the separators. (Previously, just the date disappeared and the time remained, but this time the time disappeared too.)
