Hi,

The new time selection "wheels" I find a bit difficult to use, the black highlight around the blue background isn't terribly readable, and there's no scroll bar so a mouse's vigorous scroll wheel can just whizz past the time (I see you can use cursor keys so it's not all bad). Plus on wide screens the popup action is quite a long way from the actual time, which threw me initially.

Ideally the selector would pop up when clicking on the numeric time, or better still it were editable either as text or as the new format.

Just click the text and type. That still works for me.

"New"? That hasn't changed in a while. It's possible your browser has changed its default way of entering time.

I will see if there is a better control though.

I don't see the problem in Firefox so would you mind posting a screenshot or sharing which browser you're using as this is likely browser-specific?

This is in my Chrome (version below) and has only recently started happening with INPUT[Type=time] field (see pics attached) - can only set time by clicking the clock icon far right.

Thanks
Jamie

It's down to a chrome update, the same one that on mobile forced out the tab tile layout to users. You may well find there's a flag deep in the settings to change it back to how it was previously.

Thanks. Beggared if I can find any setting for it. It's a shame the box defaults to quite so wide

Presumably part of the same update that my phone has reverted to groups of paginated tabs or whatever the bizarre layout is called. Just need to find the setting to make it more normal again...

It seems to be this flag (#form-controls-refresh) in chrome settings. However, in both states, I can still click the text and type in the time. It just doesn't show the text cursor.
