Comment 3 Michael Stead 2011-09-21 12:33:36 UTC 
Proposed fix is to on error, reset the date picker's date field to the last valid date that was entered. Since the date is valid again, the user can now click the calendar button to select a valid date.


Patch is ready, if this solution is reasonable.
