Yes, I can confirm this on Edgy. It's really a problem in the use of Gnome widgets, instant apply and HIG. Typing something into the hour box does not change it until you exit that box, and Close works as a cancel where that change is not applied (but previous ones are I guess).
Perhaps the answer is to replace the Close button with an OK button (which saves) and a Cancel button that reverts everything? ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- Installation problem - Date Time Setting https://launchpad.net/bugs/67948 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
