In addition to not being able type in dates with the Calendar item in the date filter (I submitted that as a separate idea to be able to type in dates), the general date selecting user experience is quite cumbersome.  It's hard to write this out and much easier to show.  But the short story is that it is difficult to select the dates on the first try.  A pretty typical interaction with the calendar component goes something like this:

  • Open the filter
  • Select Calendar
  • Pick the start date
  • Perform however many clicks it takes to get to the date you need (sometimes this can take a few clicks if you are going back a few years/months)
  • At this point you think you have selected the start date
  • Now, move your cursor to go select the end date
  • At this point, the start date loses your initial selection.  I think this happens 90% of the time
  • Sometimes the issue is that the start date gets set to the new end date
  • Sometimes it resets before you even get to the start date
  • Sometimes it goes back "Select" like you never picked a date

This behavior is quite frustrating.  I have experienced it quite a bit myself and customers have complained.  I hope there is something that can be done to improve it.
