You are right, this happens without the patch. So no change in behavour.

That looks like the bug.

Before this patch, you can enter the time manually and the default time when
you select from date picker has the time as 23:59.

After this patch, you can't manually enter the time and the time defaults to
00:00 using the date picker.

As this is the current behavour, it will probably need to be addressed at some
stage.

I've only tested on the checkout form.

Thanks!
