Public bug reported:
gnome-initial-setup 3.28.0-2ubuntu4 (UNAPPROVED queue)
Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu on Wayland session
On the "Help improve Ubuntu" panel, my location is shown as
America/New_York (my system's time zone).
I would expect it to at least not have the underline character in the
name, maybe "America/New York".
By the way, it's a bit awkward because I'm in Florida and New York is
over 1000 miles away but I understand the general idea (it uses the
selected timezone) and my case is an extreme example. I mention that
because although it might be nicer formatting to just say "New York", I
feel that "America/New York" is actually a bit more clear in my
situation.
(As a further digression, Florida has asked the US Congress to allow it
to stay on Daylight Savings Time year round so we might get our own time
zone soon.)
