Shortened Date and Time

Hi FG,

Confirmed on Canary:

Regards,

Thankyou.

The problem is common to all builds that have those options. 🤷‍♂️

Do you see the same if you use English (Canada)?

Here I get the same results with English (Canada), English (Australia) and English (United States).

There are way too many countries to try them all. 😂

English (Europe) and other European countries work correctly. 🤷‍♂️

Edit:

Looks like Pauli O explained the puzzle on Nov 28.

The Short and Long time must be both set for 24 hours for this to work correctly.

With English (Europe) it is done automatically, but with English (United States) or (Canada) or (Australia) it is not, and we need to set both Short and Long time manually to match either 12 hours or 24 Hours format, otherwise we get the problem we saw.

Since it uses both the Short and the Long time it ends up switching from 24 to 12 hours or vice versa. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

Even though this was put to Johnny. When I saw it, I checked this, again, just now. If Show seconds is added to 24H it, still, does not, is not changing to AM/PM.

Cannot check Abbreviated, as that is not in my retail 11.

The question is: what changed from when you saw the problem to when it disappeared? 😎😵‍💫

Must admit, I cannot come up with an answer or explanation for that question 🤷‍♂️. All I know or can say is I changed nothing.

But dig this... (not to add to the mysteries or anything)

Just went to the IB. Control Panel opened! I set it to 24H & d/m/y.

Told it to Show seconds, which it did AND did not switch to AM/PM.
Told it to Abbreviate and it did not switch to AM/PM.
Told it to do both and it did not switch to AM/PM.

Canary IB

So, it is not doing it in either IB or retail.

Cheers,
Drew

Clearly something changed on your machine. Too bad you cannot figure out what. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

My edit said, Idk, except that I, myself, changed nothing. And is your curiosity in regard to both the IB and the retail? Changed nothing in either one.

And remember, yesterday I couldn't explore the scenario in the IB due to CP never showing.
