I was trying to set the clock time manually since a firewall blocks the port for NTP. The clock was 4 hours late. I opened System -> Administration -> Date and Time, unlocked the configuration panel, and adjusted the hour.
I expected to time not to change in the configuration panel. I also expected the time to be set after I clock the Close button.
After a few seconds, the hour is reset to what it was before changing it. Clicking the Close button before it changes back does not set the time.
This is very similar to what was reported in a comment of bug #400130.

So here we are. I've found the problem, which is a wrong command passed to set the time. The delay before time is reset to its previous value is quite short, and should be raised I guess. But at least with the patch at [1], if you're relatively quick, the changes will be applied.
You can apply it if you like by downloading the patch and running:
sudo patch /usr/share/
I keep the bug open because of the delay issue.
