Description Ted 2015-06-18 23:50:04 CEST
Custom formats (# ^ 0 _ -) are not being interpreted properly and causing the clock itself to become blank.

This formula: 
-- %A, %^b %d, %Y -- %I:%M %p

Should output (at the time of writing):
-- Thursday, JUN 18, 2015 -- 5:44 PM

Instead there is nothing displayed and the clock becomes the same width as a separator.

I am formatting based off the documentation for the clock plugin.

Two years and 7 months later, this problem still exists.

It works with the datetime plugin build from the git tree.

LOL... And again 7 months later, it still persists... Using %W in custom format breaks the clock...

Fortunately, the alternative datetime plugin is not broken like the default Clock....
