SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo Linux KDE desktop

KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My computer's system clock is set to UTC ; my local timezone is North America
EST for Toronto. To tell KDE to show Toronto time in the digital clock in the
panel, the obvious method is to select the line marked 'Toronto' : this,
however, results in the clock showing a time 5 hours behind Toronto. The
successful method is to select the 1st line 'UTC - Local - Your system time
zone', which looks like a request for the clock to show Greenwich UT time.
The 1st line should be labeled 'Local time - Local region - Your computer's
local time'.
In addition, it is difficult to understand why users are allowed to select
multiple time zones, which the clock cannot display. The desired display
should be line to be selected & only 1 line should be selectable at a time.
