Bug Description

I have the status bar showing both the time and date. For some reason, either the time or the date disappears and reappears every few seconds--but not both at the same time, only one or the other. It's very strange.

Same deal here. Doesn't always do it, but most of the time. Haven't figured out what activity causes it.

A little experimentation trying different time-based statuses:

*) "time" comes and goes every 3-5 seconds

*) "date" comes and goes every 10-20 seconds

*) "time_utc" pops out and in about once per minute.

I "solved" the problem by commenting out time and date.

I continue to see this issue with the default status bar time modules. I see it with the date, time, and UTC modules.
