When entering a birthday (date string) for a person in the calendar menu's text field, the date seems to be ignored. Only when you open the calendar menu again, the previously entered date is chosen correctly. I suggest connecting text field and calendar widget. So that changing one, changes the other one as well. Additionally, it would be great if the text field would receive default focus, so you can directly type the date without clicking the text field first. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a new contact. 2. Start adding a birthday in the "Personal" tab by clicking the calendar icon (candle in front of calendar). 3. Enter the birthday in the text field. E.g.: "01.01.2000" (Note: I use German date format, I don't know what the default format looks like.) 4. Press enter on your keyboard. 5. Realize that the entered date has been ignored, and only the selected date in the calendar widget seems to matter.
I confirm it
