The worst is when the date picker won’t let you select a date in the future, like a birthday, and so it’ll rubber-band your selection back to a valid date.
That’s all fine, except it does this validation on every change, rather than when the user has finished entering data. So if today is 27th Dec, and I wanted to enter 1 Jan 2000, I have to first change the year and only then is it save to change the day and month fields!
What’s worse is the year appears last/right hand side, so as we work from left to right the first thing the UI has you pick is the day, not the year. I simply cannot understand how these issues weren’t addressed before release.
- kevincox 4y agoI have this problem with thunderbird's calendar. It won't let you set the event start before the event end, even for a second while editing. So I have this common problem. 1. Have an "evening event" from 16:00-23:00 2. The start time changes (or most likely was previously a generous placeholder) 3. Update the start time to 19:00. Thunderbird automatically adjusts the end time to preserve the length. Now it is 02:00 the next day. 4. Adjust the date back, however after the first click it closes the datetime picker and throws an error. 5. Try again, select the future date to get past the date picker into the time picker, then select the correct time. 6. Open the datetime picker again, select the correct date and the same time. This is a particularly egregious example because the datetime picker is combined and aborts half-way through after you select only a date.
