** Description changed: - Actual result: - Any element that tries to format and display a specific time in HH:MM format inside the calendar tray widgets (World Clocks, Calendar events "from-to" times, and hourly Weather forecasts) fails to render. Instead of the formatted time, the single digit "1" is displayed. + [ Impact ] - Notes: - This is not a text translation issue, but a time-formatting/locale-parsing bug specific to the German (de_DE / de_CH) time format strings in GNOME Shell on Ubuntu 26.04. Switching to en_US resolves the issue, as it uses the standard colon separator without crashing the locale formatter. + Any element that tries to format and display a specific time in HH:MM + format inside the calendar tray widgets (World Clocks, Calendar events + "from-to" times, and hourly Weather forecasts) fails to render.
