Reminders snooze for fifteen minutes instead of one

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create an event with a start time in the near future.
2) Set a custom reminder for one minute before the start time.
3) When the reminder fires, click the "Snooze All For" button and set a custom snooze time of one minute.

Actual Results:  
The reminder re-appears after fifteen minutes.

Expected Results:  
The reminder should re-appear after one minute.

I'm using a local ics file.

In Lightning's options, the default reminder time is one hour, so this bug's problem seems unrelated to that.

I'm setting the bug's priority to Major because this behavior could cause people to be late for important events.

Works fine for me using Lightning 1.0pre (BuildID: 20090310032307) with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090310 Shredder/3.0b3pre (BuildID: 20090310031252) and local ics file:

After creating the alarm:

[calAlarmService] considering alarm for item: New Event alarm time: 2009/03/10 22:22:00 UTC isDate=0 snooze time: null
[calAlarmService] now is 2009/03/10 22:21:35 UTC isDate=0
[calAlarmService] adding alarm timeout (25000) ...

After snoozing the alarm for 1 minute:

[calAlarmService] considering alarm for item: New Event alarm time: 2009/03/10 22:22:00 UTC isDate=0 snooze time: 2009/03/10 22:23:08 UTC isDate=0
[calAlarmService] now is 2009/03/10 22:22:08 UTC isDate=0
[calAlarmService] alarm is in the future.
[calAlarmService] adding alarm timeout (60000) ...

Attachment: Screenshot

After more investigation, I think it's a display problem, not a functional problem.  I recently set my default snooze time to 15 minutes in Lightning's options.  The attached screenshot shows that I can see the 1 but not the 5 because I use Courier New in "Windows Control Panel > Display > Appearance > Advanced > Message Text".

This explains why I expected it to snooze for one minute but it actually snoozed for 15 minutes.

Note:  I use 120 DPI (instead of the default of 96 DPI), if that matters.

Attachment: increase textbox width from 1 to 3

In case it only a display issue: This patch increases the textbox width from 1 to 3 characters (the same width as used in the preference dialog).

That fixes it on my computer, Stefan -- thanks.
