The default format for the clock in the Spanish; Castilian (Puerto Rico)
and Spanish; Castilian (United States) Regional Formats (selected in
Language Support) is the 24-hour format (displays "13:30" rather than
"1:30 PM"). These countries use the 12-hour format, so this default
setting is incorrect. While you can change the clock format in the Date
and Time Settings regardless of the current Regional Format, the clock
in the Login Screen, the Guest Session, and any newly made User Account
will use the default clock format (which is the 24-hour format in this
case). In addition, I think it's worth mentioning that Valve's Steam
gaming software is affected by this issue. Steam uses an "In-Game
Overlay" that can display the current time to the user while playing a
game. However, this Overlay clock uses the default clock format (again,
this being the 24-hour format), even if the clock format for the current
user is set to the 12-hour format.
