It looks to me like Melissa is describing the "Locations" dialogue described at the following URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#Time_.26_Date_settings
I've just spent the last 20 minutes trying to add an Abu Dhabi location (Gulf Standard Time) to the time-widget shown in the upper-right hand corner of the default Unity desktop (I believe it's an indicator) shown in the "Menu" section of that document: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#The_menu I have, so far, failed to succeed due to the extraordinarily non- discoverable interface for adding locations. I've tried: 1) Typing "Abu Dhabi", which results in a red-dash icon appearing in the list-item, presumably indicating that no such location is known. 2) Typing "Dubai", another nearby major city in the same time zone... same red-dash. 3) Typing "GST", the standard abbreviation of the time-zone name, same red-dash. 4) Typing "Gulf Standard Time", the full name of the time zone, same red-dash. 5) Typing "United Arab Emirates", the name of the country in which these cities are located, same red-dash. It's possible that the GST timezone is actually missing from the list, but I'm not certain because there's no simple way for me to browse the full list. Submitting random guesses to get a glimpse of a subset of the list is quite a frustrating method of discovering options. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801043 Title: locations autocomplete in date/time dialog is not intuitive for common locations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/801043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
