I take back some of what I said in comment #3. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are not autocompleting successfully. I can't say what changed to make this work again.
I stand by the conclusion that a browsable list would be much more discoverable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801043 Title: locations autocomplete in date/time dialog is not intuitive for common locations Status in The Date and Time Indicator: New Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In the Date dialog > time and date settings > clock > locations dialog, when trying to add non-obscure locations such as "san francisco" (only US city showing for 'san' is 'san antonio' in texas), "sydney" (shows up as 'syd' so typing 'sydn' gets nothing) and "london" (nothing in the UK appears) in the autocomplete filter, these locations either don't show, or show under wrong titles. Alternately, searching for "usa" gets locations in africa and russia, "united" gets no results, and "calif" gets no results, so there appears to be no attempt to match against the smaller text appearing alongside the location title either. This is on a freshly upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 system. I dearly missed having this feature in 10.10, and call me hard to please, but I'd like to have it actually usable if it's there now.
