I don't like this behaviour.  It makes sense to someone who is trying
to be very precise, but I think is too finnicky for an average user.

In particular contrast it with the standard Windows time control
that updates the whole field no matter where you have clicked
in it.

I don't think you should allow selecting of an individual 
digit.  Just work on whole fields for all keyboard and mouse
stuff.  I suspect very few people intentionally try to work
on a single digit.

The existing Windows control is always a whole field.

I was under Win98SE with 2.4.0.6.  Again I think this should work as
a whole field thing.  It should change if any of it is selected.
