Need to be able to place cursor under more than one digit

Whilst setting up an alarm, adjusting the time is done on a two digit basis (i.e hour *or* minute). However the software only highlights one digit, making it look like you will be about to adjust the time by single digits. According to Max Spicer the dispay code needs to be updated to allow the cursor to be placed under more than one digit.
The time input is done using Input.Time, which uses $client->symbols('cursorpos'). When I did the new double-digit behaviour I tried inserting two cursor symbols, but only one is displayed.
Why should this be double digit anyway? I don't see the advantage of this behaviour: with the old two digit display it was easy to adjust from 35 to 00 with the arrow keys (no numbers on some remote controls). Now you have to scroll through 25 items. What's the advantage?
