Interestingly enough, the clock app is meant to open the "Alarms" tab by default according to this comment in /usr/share/jolla-clock/pages/MainPage.qml:

// PathView skips currentIndex assignments. According PathView API docs the
// initial position needs to be set on component completion with positionViewAtIndex()
Component.onCompleted: positionViewAtIndex(1, PathView.Center) // always start in alarms

Funny thing about that: setting currentIndex to 1 fixes the issue (even though the comment claims it won't work).

I have created a patch that fixes the bug. The patch is available through the patchmanager web catalog or here: https://coderus.openrepos.net/pm2/project/clock-default-tab

I don't know. I liked the old interface better, I think. It's not like I set up so many alarms and timer that scrolling through them would become a probkem, really. But when I access the clock, I almost always go there for the timer, as the alarm for my weekly schedule does not change, and I only need to go there when I have to get up early for a trip or something like that. On the other hand, ti start a timer you actually have to manually trigger it, so it makes sense to open the clock on the timer page.
