    Hi,

    Am struggling to get the KDE Digital clock wizard to use the 24-hour format when using the "Copy to clipboard" menu option. See [1] and [2] for my settings. The Digital Clock wizard uses 24-hour format when it shows the time in the panel but when using
    its "Copy to clipboard" option it still uses the AM/PM format. I couldn't find any way to fix this.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    and if you try with a different Region?

    FWIW, my digital clock's "Time display" is set to "Use Region
    Defaults", not "24 hours", and I do get a 24 hour clock (which is what
    my region defines).

    I've fixed that issue on my box about 6 month ago, I can't remember how I did that exactly. The core of it however was that the `locales` were defined in several places, like 2 or 3, and that one of them was inconsistent with the others. And I've just deleted it.

    Now my setting is, I have no local whatsoever, viz, I use `LC_ALL="C.UTF-8"` and that's it. Only "spell check" is "US-EN".

    Really my issue was with the screen saver time display. And there were no simple way to fix that. But with "consistent" locales, it really works smoothly.

    And not every bits of kde software were looking in kde config for locales data, and there were the system wide locales, and the user's locales: that makes three.

    I tried setting "osa_US" -- which also uses 24-hour time format -- as the time format in KDE but "Copy to Clipboard" still showed time in the AM/PM format.

    and if you try with Region "it_IT" and "Detailed Settings" disabled + logout/login ?
