We planned on reworking the timezone map for better usability in the
ubiquity-visual-refresh [1] specification, but ran out of time in the
8.10 cycle. It will most likely land in Jaunty.

The new time zone / city choosing is annoying
In 8.04.1 I can confirm selecting a city is difficult on some computers,
easier on others. Seemingly dependent on graphics processing ability.
Scrolling whilst zoomed in doesn't usually work for me, Very snatchy
movement, and imprecise. Frustrating.
I usually revert to wading through the long
Whilst this is vastly improved in final with certain types of mouse and
touchpads it can still be very annoying. I'd personally prefer it to
scroll slowly and be patient.

* Move the map when the cursor is near an edge instead of whenever the
cursor moves (LP: #214989, #195159).
* Various fixes to the new tzmap. Thanks Colin Watson.
The scrolling is also horrible to make sense of when using the nv
drivers, which all nvidia users will be at install time. It's too jerky
to hit anything properly.

OK, guys, requiring the user to hit a 2 pixel area, while the background moves
around is not funny.
It might have looked cool on the management presentation, but in practice it
fails completely.

selecting a timezone) has been

The older map was quite huge for some folks, so why not give it two or even
three levels of zooming by clicking? I have to stick to my opinion that the
moving background is still giving a
This is better than the alphas, but it seems to require two-pixel

the city doesn't change (I assumed it had accepted my click on London,

Confirming for hardy beta. The design is much better, but the map moves
along with the mouse, this will cost a lot of people some time to choose
their location. As Tarmas stated, laptop users will have a hard time
using it.

This should be a little bit easier to use in the daily live CDs and on
the beta, but admittedly there's still work to be done on fixing it
properly. Mitigating the issue is a top priority of mine. Reverting it
would mean losing the ability to fit the ubiquity window in low
resolution screens.
Savvas,

Agreed this is definately a problem. It took me about a minute, moving

I agree. Installing Hardy Alpha 6, the sensitivity for choosing the time
zone is way too high. It is very difficult to chose now, where it only
took little time in Gutsy.
