Title:
regional settings are far too restrictive
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Settings --> Region & Language --> Formats
Allows me to select the country, not set the actual format.us
I live in the US, so this means that I am stuck with
date: mm/dd/yyyy
time: HH:MM:SS AM/PM
date&time: the weird format which somehow starts with week and ends with
am/pm
numbers: 123,456,789.00
measurements: imperial
paper: us letter
basically, since all paper is always "letter", no other country selection
will work for me.
however, I don't see why I have to be stuck with the US customary units
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_customary_units - not "imperial")
and "infix" date/time formats.
I could set date and time formats to ISO 8601 for the last 10 years at least,
and still can do it on Mac.
This appears to be a regression.
