I like the function "Regenerate Task X Days after task is completed" Is there a way the new task is regenerated at a set time like 19:00 even if i complete the task at 13:35?

Here's how I would handle this:

I would leave "use time" turned off, so that the start date and start due date do not show any time
Then I would set a reminder on the task set for 19:00 on start date. 
I believe that whatever time you complete the task it will be regenerated for x days hence, with a reminder set for 19:00 on that date.

I agree with the original poster that using time and "regenerate" doesn't work well. I have recurrent tasks that need to start at a particular time (taking medicine). I have to change recurrence to "daily" and use "skip occurrences" to catch up.  OTOH I don't see an easy way to provide another option without much confusion to the user since everyone is already used to the way it is now.
