How do you "Scroll past -50 in the applet"? Seems you discovered a feature I'm not aware of lol

Oh yeah, I forgot to say "year" in the title. If you open the applet and click on the month twice, you will get into a decade view. Then just scroll far back with your mouse wheel.

Can reproduce. It crashes for me as soon as I get to -1.

Negative calendar years don't make sense. Will fix.

Don't allow negative calendar years

The concept is nonsensical and trying to display them crashes the
app displaying the calendar.

Comment 6 Jacopo Martellini 2020-12-19 14:55:31 UTC 
Well, negative years are dates before Christ. While I'm an atheist, those dates still make sense.
Of course I also think that hardly anyone will complain about this change :D

PS: I commented on your commit because I think that there's a little mistake
