Those time fields make entering time really hard, you should position your cursor at the left of the digit then type it, and any successive typing results in modifying numbers at right, is there any way to convert them to separate spinner or another elegant time picker.

Yeah, we should use a real time entry widget here. The current bodged-together one is rather frustrating to use.

kcms/nightcolor: use spinboxes instead of text field for manual time selection

The old regex validated text field input method was very cumbersome to use and buggy.
