Public bug reported:

How to reproduce:

1.  start gnome-control-center
2.  choose "Time & Date"
3.  choose "Clock" and "Choose Locations..."
4. Click on a big green + sign

Actual result:
You are prompted to type something in. There are two problems with this:
1. It is not clear what should I type in 
2. UTC is already there so I tried to type something like PST (Pacific Standard Time) or CET (Central European Time) but it doesn't work

All I end up with is an additional, empty row.

Expected result:
Either some dialog appears where I can choose a timezone or I'm allowed to type actually something into the row. See also the screenshot with the dialog and with the empty row. There was no error dialog presented to the user that there is something wrong with the input.
