Calender events: setting end time to 00:00 should not reset start time [duplicate]

When adding a calendar event lasting e.g. from 21:00 to midnight on the 28th day of month, my intuition tells me to

  1. create event on 28th
  2. set start time to 21:00
  3. set end time to 00:00

However, after step two, start and end time end up as 00:00 on 28th.

I would suggest to make the time picker smarter, so that when it realizes that selected end time is "smaller" than start time, it automatically adds one day for the end time, setting it e.g. to 29th.

I cannot think of a scenario where it is useful to set start time = end time instead.
