I am using Thundirbird with Pop_OS 19.10. I have setted the locale to es_ES.

The date is represented with the following format dd/mm/yy hh:mm wich is fine. The problem comes when it has to represent months or days with one digit. When that happens, the dates are not align correctly and it's driving me nuts.

These is what's happening:


dd/mm/yy hh:mm

29/12/19 19:37

1/1/19 2:25 <--



and this is how I would like it to be:


dd/mm/yy hh:mm

29/12/19 19:37

01/01/19 02:25 <--

then I suggest you set the operating systems default date formatting for a short date to suit your preferences.

My problem is not with the lenght of the date but rather the change in format depending on the date, from "dd/mm/yy hh:mm" to "d/m/yy h:mm"

Thunderbird takes date and time info from your OS, so something is not set as you would expect. Cannot locate info on 19.10, but see if this info helps for 18.04:
