[Bug 801043] Re: locations autocomplete in date/time dialog is not intuitive for common locations

 

Added indicator datetime as a project, not sure how to remove gnome-
panel, though I'm fairly certain this bug isn't in gome panel.

Title:
  locations autocomplete in date/time dialog is not intuitive for common
  locations

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  New
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In the Date dialog > time and date settings > clock > locations
  dialog, when trying to add non-obscure locations such as "san
  francisco" (only US city showing for 'san' is 'san antonio' in texas),
  "sydney" (shows up as 'syd' so typing 'sydn' gets nothing) and
  "london" (nothing in the UK appears) in the autocomplete filter, these
  locations either don't show, or show under wrong titles.

  Alternately, searching for "usa" gets locations in africa and russia,
  "united" gets no results, and "calif" gets no results, so there
  appears to be no attempt to match against the smaller text appearing
  alongside the location title either.

  This is on a freshly upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 system. I dearly
  missed having this feature in 10.10, and call me hard to please, but
  I'd like to have it actually usable if it's there now.
