Well, not sure what to say. The clock worked yesterday--unscrolled correctly after a brief hesitation--but today the panels froze as before, and the shutdown icon was inactive. (Interestingly, the update icon worked!) Now, after installing today's updates, I've rebooted and I just pushed the clock

Thanks for your patience with my stubborn version of the bug, but now it seems to work fine!! It hesitated, and my heart fell, but then it unfurled just as it should, and furled up again when I reclicked the button. All my earlier settings are gone, but the new ones work fine. I do have that most
