        @aral @marcedwards Both of those changes also make no logical sense. Just slowing down progress, like the animations.

        @CraigGrannell Yep. There’s subtleties to this — make sure you’re trying to drag from white space. AM/PM is a good test. +@aral

        @aral @marcedwards @adurdin if you open the timer app you'll see that most of that "info"graphic is actually wrong.

        @shaun_wilkinson @aral @marcedwards From what I've heard, it's inconsistent--with some, you can, others (like AM/PM sliders) you can't.

        @sblinde @aral @marcedwards yeah it's just the am/pm which Ive never used. Maybe just a bug.
