Shortened Date and Time

It shows here 24 hours short time with seconds. 😂🤷‍♂️

The setting options just added a bug.

Works fine with English (Europe) or English (United Kingdom), but not English (United States) or English (Canada). 😂😂🤷‍♂️

Here you go. 👌

Edit:

The problem happens when they allow the Short-time and Long-time setting to be different, both settings should be either 12 or 24 hours, when they are allowed to be different that creates the problem.

Since both Short-time and Long-time formats are used in the System tray clock, they need to match. 😎🤷‍♂️

With English (Europe) they are both automatically set for 24 hours without any option to be changed while with other regional languages they can be set manually, and they can be set incorrectly by mistake, and that creates a problem. 😵‍💫

The 2 settings should be forced to match to avoid the problems described when they don't match.

Split from this thread.

I Upvoted the Time & Date entry in FH about a suggested bug. Although I have figured out why this happens & I should not have Upvoted it, as it is NOT a bug.

In the Sys Tray it uses "Short Time", not "Long Time". And 24H in Short Time has no option with seconds, so when it is told to Show seconds it MUST go to AM/PM format.

Same can be said for using "Show abbreviated time and date". Cannot have cake & eat it, too.
Again, this is not a bug, either. It does not/cannot apply to 24H, so it switches.

Cheers,
Drew

Pretty silly excuse.

Pauli just showed he has 24 hours format with seconds.

>24H in Short Time has no option with seconds, so when it is told to Show seconds it MUST go to AM/PM format.

I have 24H mode with seconds,

I agree with you 100%. I have said or told people the same thing often... for one example in regard to Copilot. Never mind removing stuff you don't like or think is dumb, instead don't use it, whatever 'it' is.

And, actually, it is not a bug...
