Using TimeTrack v1.1, a null field can result in the Work
History table when the "End Current & Start New Task"
button is pressed. This will happen when the Activity,
Project, or Task text boxes are not actively filled in prior
to pressing the button, even if there is text showing up in
the text box from a previous task. For example:

The following is the definition of the Current Task
Activity: X
Project: A
Task: Coding

Coding is complete, so the user presses the "End
Current & Start New Task" button.

Testing is starting, so the user changes the Task field to
Testing, but leaves the other fields alone (Activity = X,
and Project = A). When testing is complete, the user
presses the "End Current & Start New Task" button, but
the Activity and Project fields in the Work History table
are blank, and the resulting xml file also contains blanks
for those entries. As such, the reports don't properly
account for the time, and there's no way (with the GUI),
to update those tasks. The XML file must be modified
by hand.
