I'm tentatively marking this Fix Released. In Karmic, the timezone dropdown boxes are a little more intelligent.
The left box offers both a selection of countries based on your language in which you're likely to be as well as the continent list. The right box offers (for the countries where it makes sense -- namely CA/US/MX), human-understandable timezones like Eastern, Central, Mountain as well as the previous list of city-zones. Such choices aren't reflected in map-clicks, which still use city-zones, but they are selectable through the dropbox. I believe this hits the main point in this bug: desire to be able to select zones in US as denizens know them (Pacific, Central, etc). ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- Improve graphical timezone chooser, provide choice to enter actual timezones https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103583 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
