I don't know what you expected to see , but it should display the task 
as starting 13:0 and ending 23:59. It doesn't show that no work is 
going on from 15:0 to 20:0.

The gantt chart doesn't (atm) display non-working days as you have set 
them in the calendar. It indicates "week-ends" as gray in accordance 
with you locale settings (I think), but this only works "correctly" 
when you have a 1 day scale.
