Bug Description

When you insert an event it is useless to choose the time with the precision of minutes . I believe it is easier to choose the time in steps of 5 minutes.
I also would put some preset buttons with 15, 30 , 45 mins

I use Aquaris e4.5 ubuntu editione with vivid 15.04 r23

For most events a precision of 5 min will be plenty enough. But there is a usage for a one minute precision. Think about train or bus schedules as an example.
Nevertheless, I would appreciate preset buttons for 00, 15, 30, and 45 minutes.

Hi Johannes,

it is certainly true that some events require an accuracy of 1 minute.

But the app is a calendar that is used primarily to mark appointments, events, etc.

If I have to take a train at 12:13, I can record the event at 12.00 writing: "train to Milan at 12:13 platform 2" even for a few minutes early for the alarm.

Now is very very annoying rotate, and rotate ... and rotate...my cursor and try to "strike the right" the minute right;-)

Jumps to 5 minutes in 5 minutes and buttons 00, 15, 30, 45, I think are best.

This seems common practice on other mobile platforms - 5 min intervals in the time spinner. So I'd say it's something we may want to adopt.
