locations list can go over the screen border

Im using the latest Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.

Confirmed, thanks for you report.

I've sent this upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514361

I think this is related - sometimes If you open the popup and just leave the popup open for a minute or so it will resize by itself.

I too suffer from what is probably the same bug.

while I open the birthday and anniversary it does a jump to the right. (out-of-screen)

This is still an issue in Intrepid beta.

This is affecting jaunty also.

It occurs more often when one of the locations is on a different day of the week to your location, since it makes the time info for the location wider.

Still present in Karmic (Clock 2.28.0). Peter Cherriman's observation above is the same diagnosis I was about to make. Is it possible to determine where on the panel the applet is located, and then expand in the appropriate direction based on that? (i.e. if it's on the far right, move the left edge further left rather than the right edge further right?)

This appears to be fixed in Lucid

No, I still experience this. It might have helped that the session
applet is on the right of the clock by default, so there's some space,
but it's still not enough.

Still present in Lucid. Try it with one time zone PST and one in Asia. On Tuesday, the "Wednesday" added after the date is enough to push the edge off the screen border. All that needs to be done is account for the 'set' button for the location with the longest string when the menu is first displayed. Should be a simple fix, but I lack the know-how of the applet internals and build system to fix it myself nor the time to figure it out. A minor annoyance at most, but it still should be fixed.

Could someone post a screenshot of the bug affecting the default configuration in Lucid [with the session menu on the right of the clock applet] ?

Here you are.

If somebody wants to send a patch the fix would be welcome, usually when such bugs are open for a while that's because the code changes are not as trivial as you could think

10.04, same problem 1 x location, Canberra Australia, glide mouse pointer from underneath the locations dropdown upwards, 'set' button appears and graphics glitch shows up, causes the issue every time. calender expands off the screen.

This bug affects me.

10.04, clock applet located in the lower-right corner of the screen. Added Seoul to get the text "5:44 AM (Tuesday) KST + 15".

No hovering for the "Set" button is required -- simply adding the city pushes the applet partially off-screen. Hovering to get the "Set" button then pushes it farther off-screen. Not a big deal, we're talking about only 17px or so.

It appears that there's a patch assigned to GNOME bug #553929: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553929

I haven't tested this patch, so I don't know if it fixes the bug.

Accepting this as a paper cut since this is an issue that affects the default installation and seems to be trivial to fix.

Closing report since Gnome Panel is not longer shipped with Ubuntu.

Sorry, meant to say "Closing papercut report".
