Subject: bug#345: In xfce, clock almost disappears after changing format

Package: xfce4-panelVersion: 4.12
I installed Devuan ascii from the amd_64 installation cd. After it completed, I rebooted and logged into xfce. I selected "default panel config". I adjusted the properties of the clock to be in 12/hour AM/PM format and clicked ok. The clock seemed to disappear completely. I added the clock by right-clicking the panel -> add new item -> clock. I did the same thing as before and had the same result.

I finally noticed that both clocks were still there, but the width of them was shrunk down to a few pixels. I tried changing the format back to the default but it doesn't change the width of the clock.
I'm working around the issue by removing those clocks and adding the Orage clock plug-in.

I"m using xfce 4.2
