I'm running Mint 14 with Cinnamon, using the Tout theme. This theme has a light gray gradient on the panel, dark gray text with a white dropshadow behind the text.
I know that typically dropshadows are achieved in GTK themes by drawing the text twice - once with the dropshadow color and then again with the main color, offset by a pixel vertically and/or horizontally. What I'm noticing is that in the clock, sometimes the main text changes, but the dropshadow behind it doesn't. So for example it might be 6:27, but the dropshadow behind the 7 is still the ghost of the 0 from seven minutes ago. Put another way, the clock text says 6:27 but its dropshadow says 6:20.
If I click on the panel and then mouse over the clock, the problem corrects itself temporarily.
It's not really hurting anything, it's just weird. Anyone else notice this?

Ha! I noticed this as well long ago, but had no idea how to explain it. You, on the other hand, did a fine job
Re: Odd little bug in Cinnamon panel clock
Thanks.
For those not so impressed by my powers of description, here's a picture of what I mean. In this screenshot the dropshadow is off from the clock itself by hours and hours.

Yeah I have that too, was going to make a thread about it but don't have to now.
I took a screenshot if it helps.
As you can see the shadow of a 6 remains. It's a minor bug but annoying none the less.
