Bug Description

The current time is not updated immediately in the status bar when I change the timezone using the "Adjust Date & Time" utility. It is not updated until the minute changes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right-click on the current date and time at the top right of the screen and select "Adjust Date & Time".

2. Click "Select Time Zone...".

3. Select a timezone other than UTC.

4. Click "OK".
