Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a new task
  2. Click start date
  3. Click in the time input box and type in the minutes (eg 9:23)
  4. Pressing enter or clicking the tick does not save the minutes
Expected behavior

I would expect typing in an explicit time for that time to be saved against the task.
The up/down spinner only select 30 minutes or 00 minutes so cannot be used.
The popup when clicking the digits between the arrows only shows 5 minute intervals, so is also not useful if the task needs to be started at a non-five-minute increment.

Actual behaviour

Typing the time in and pressing enter or tick to save the task results in the minutes part being wiped out.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Tasks app with a manually entered non-five-minute time, then trace the frontend time-input and task-save handling. Done means that entering minutes such as 9:23 and confirming with Enter or the tick preserves the complete time on the task.
