--- Comment #32 from jhyslop@dreampossible.ca ---
I just voted in favour of this issue. The number recognition assumes that
anything in the format "#:##" is a time, and converts it to "##:##:##"
(presumably hours:minutes:seconds). I have many times entered information that
happens to LOOK like a time, but is, in fact, NOT a time. Converting "5:30" to
"05:30:00" is just wrong. And, as has been pointed out several times, the
option is not very well defined.

I would also add that if I type in "5:30", and the program changes it to
"05:30:00" and I go back and re-edit it to "5:30", the program should take that
as a strong hint that I do NOT want it to change what I entered.
