Use of "Date Updated" filter in search of community posts
When I do a search for community posts, I end up with a list of results on a page that offers a number of filter options, including date updated "From" and "To" filters. I can enter the required date either by using the mouse to navigate from month to month in the pop-up calendar, or I can try to type the date directly via the keyboard.
There seem to be several issues with entering dates into these filters. My location means that I have a non-US/Canadian date format but, if I change my Windows regional settings to US, at least the first two of these issues persist.
- The default text in these boxes appears to be "dd/mm/yyy". The lack of a visible fourth "y" is due to incompatibility between the size of the control and the font that is being used.
- If I attempt to use my keyboard to enter a date, the behaviour is weird. When I get to typing the month or year, I find that typing will change the preceding components of the date (e.g. the day and/or month) as well, and it is near impossible to enter a date correctly this way.
- Also when I use the keyboard, what is echoed depends on whether I use the number keys above the alpha keys or the numeric keypad. If I use the numeric keypad, what is echoed is likely to be one less than what I typed (e.g., type "2" and "1" is what I see).
- I can use the up- and down-arrow keys to change the selected date component (i.e., day, month or year), but that will likely change other components as well.
- When I use the mouse to select a date from the calendar month, the selected date is likely to be the day before the one I selected.

It would be useful to have a button to clear all selected filters.
