Thunderbird_v68_ActivityManager_ShortTimeFormat.png
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/76.0.3809.59 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/2.7.1609.4
Actual results:
v68.1.0 is using short time format (e.g. HH:mm).
Seen in message list, message headers, Activity Manager, and Lightning.
Expected results:
v60 uses long time format (e.g. HH:mm:ss).

I don't see a long time format in my TB 60.9.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Linux.
Do you have an extension installed that provides the long time format, or is there a setting in Thunderbird that provides it? I can't find one in my 60.8.0 or 68.1.1.

I don't think TB 60.x ever used a long time format including seconds. Wasting screen space displaying seconds doesn't make sense.
Oh I was wrong.
The only(?) difference is in Activity Manager:
v60 uses long format.
See the two images in 1569218.
v68 uses short format.
See below.
Yes it's short format. I just changed the OS setting for Short Time Format to "HH:mm,ss".
And it's interesting that "HH:mm,ss" does not affect where "real" short format is used, e.g. Windows Explorer never shows ",ss".
Not only "," can be used.

Well, I really don't understand where the seconds come from. We converted an "old" formatting function to a "new" one here:
https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/a78c4ac9f53cbb73b6dede90c3a5bb8f80e267af#l1.14
It had timeFormatNoSeconds and that was translated to timeStyle: "short".
So I can't see where the seconds came from. Digging into TB 52 I see:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-esr52/source/mail/components/activity/content/activity.xml#292
I even ran TB 52 on Windows and saw 20:02 just now. No seconds.
I looked into the Registry hive on my old disk:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
sShortTime = HH:mm:ss
That was why my v60 showed ":ss" !
Very sorry about that, Jorg, and everyone.
Believe me it was my cat's fault...
