Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.18.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
xfce4-panel's Clock plugin has a delay of 1 second. A comparison with
"xclock -digital -update 1" confirms it.
* What led up to the situation?
I simply set the Clock plugin to display seconds. Xfce 4.16's DateTime
plugin, as shipped with Bullseye, did not have this problem.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Changing the plugin's settings did not fix the problem.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The Clock plugin displays the time with a 1-second delay.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the Clock plugin to display the time accurately without a delay.

Hi,
Up to one second difference on two displays with one second interval looks
totally normal to me: you don't know when the refresh is actually done in both
apps, it's likely not done in real time when the tick is executed. So if one
refresh at the start of the second and the other at the end, you likely have
at most one second difference.
Regards,
