SwiftUI Glitches in FormView

Question

I am facing some weird glitches in my Form implementation. I am not sure whether this is some implementation error or a bug in SwiftUI itself.

So basically what I want to do is the typical "ToDo/TimeTracking" app. I want to create a new task entity referenced to a project entity. Therefore I created a Form where I can select a project, set the title and notes of the task as well as the start and end date.

But now I am experiencing some visual glitches.

1. When I select a project with the Picker I am getting navigated to a separate view (as expected) but the list from which I can select the the project is moving a little bit upwards after the page transition animation as finished.
2. When selecting "Already finished" and then selecting a date from the DatePicker and closing the picker, the picker glitches around inside the view before it gets hidden.

A minimal viable example can be achieved with the following code snippet:

mport SwiftUI

struct Project {
    let id: Int
    let title: String
}

let projects = [Project(id: 0, title: "Hello"),Project(id: 1, title: "World")]

struct ContentView: View {

     @State private var showingCreateTask = false

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
             Text("Hello, World!")
            .navigationBarTitle("Test")
                .navigationBarItems(trailing: Button(action: { self.showingCreateTask.toggle() }) {
                    Image(systemName: "plus").imageScale(.large)
                })
                .sheet(isPresented: self.$showingCreateTask) {
                    CreateTaskView(projects: projects)
            }
        }
    }
}

struct CreateTaskView: View {

    let projects: [Project]

    @State private var selectedProject = 0
    @State private var taskTitle: String = ""
    @State private var taskNotes: String = ""
    @State private var alreadyFinished = false

    @State private var startDate = Date()
    @State private var endDate = Date()

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Form {
                Section {
                    Picker(selection: $selectedProject, label: Text("Project")) {
                        ForEach(0..<self.projects.count) { index in
                            Text(self.projects[index].title)
                        }
                    }
                }

                Section {
                    TextField("Title", text: $taskTitle)
                    TextField("Notes", text: $taskNotes)
                    Toggle(isOn: $alreadyFinished) {
                        Text("Already finished ?")
                    }
                }

                if alreadyFinished {
                    Section {
                        DatePicker(selection: $startDate, displayedComponents: [.date, .hourAndMinute]) {
                            Text("Start Date")
                        }
                        DatePicker(selection: $endDate, in: startDate..., displayedComponents: [.date, .hourAndMinute]) {
                            Text("End Date")
                        }
                    }
                }

                Button(action: {
                }) {
                    Text("Save changes")
                }
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("Create a new task")
        }
    }
}

Maybe someone has experienced something similar and knows whether this is an SwiftUI Bug or some error in my code. Any help is appreciated.

You may improve it like this:
