GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 763231
Date and time jump around on locked screen when showing seconds

Created attachment 323277 [details] Screencast of Date and Time jumping on Locked Screen I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, and I have noticed that when I enable seconds to be displayed in the time in the gnome-tweak-tool that the date and time seem to jump around a lot on the locked screen. As I couldn't take a screencast of this, I downloaded Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 and put it into a VM, but when running it in the VM in addition to the jumping around there were also strange shadows being made most of the time behind the text which is not something that happens on the host so it's all very strange... I have attached a screencast of this. Though I also tested this in a Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.18 and there are no strange shadows nor jumping there, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the GNOME version, but rather something more linked to the Ubuntu GNOME version. I also tested it in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.19, and it was fine there as well. I initially filed this report here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1553802
I have now tested in a Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 64-bit VM and the issue is present there too with the shadows as well.
No longer seeing the shadow.
But this issue also exists on Arch.
Fixed as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/34 ?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
