GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 614607
Cannot select timezone for provinces in Argentina
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:19:30 UTC
This is a bug that is related to both gnome-panel and libgweather. Original bug report is from Alfrenovsky at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgweather/+bug/373268 > When adding a location, some countries have more than one timezone and only the > main one is eligible. > > In Argentina for example, the only eligible timezone is "Argentina > (GMT-3/GMT-2)", is a single option with obvously more than one timezone and it > sets America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires. There're are other cities in Argentina > with other timezone or other daylight saving policies. > > In Brazil por example, there's a submenu to choose the cities. For example, the current time zone for the province of San Luis is different from the national time zone. In libgweather, the timezones for each province should not all be marked obsolete, and some of these time zones should be assigned to the locations. This would allow the correct time zone to be selected automatically. In gnome-panel, the menu for selecting the time zones in the dialog for adding locations should allow the user to select the appropriate time zone for the province if necessary. Even if libgweather is not changed, it would allow a workaround for some users.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
