[Mark-Clegg]

• Platform: AMD64

• Linux nostromo 5.18.1-arch1-1 Added fix for Ticket 8182 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon, 30 May 2022 17:53:11 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

• MythTV version: 32/fixes

• Package version: Arch linux AUR package

• Component: mythlcdserver

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Start myth, observe time on LCD display

On the LCD the time is alternatly displayed as "hh:mm" and "hhmm",

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

always

What is the expected behaviour?

time should alternate between "hh:mm" and "hh mm" (note the space replacing the colon) to give the illusion of a blinking colon.

What do you see instead?

Yes, I got this odd moving time on the LCD at v32 upgrade. Appears to be from 2bc6c31 and your fix here should work well.
