Editor type "datetime" exits as soon as a day is selected withou allowing time to be selected

I am using the "datetime" type for a field in the Editor.

All seems to work well except that:

  1. as soon as I select a date in the calendar portion of the widget the widget closes without allowing me to select a time

  2. if I select a time first (bad human factors as it is at the bottom of the widget) then I can move up to the calendar and select a date.

It would seem that I should be able to select both date and time and when the cursor moves outside the widget it should close or there should be OK/Cancel buttons in the widget.

Am I missing something?

Regards,
Jim

    You aren't missing anything - that's a missing feature. Thanks for letting me know about it. Its certainly poor UX reflecting upon it. I'll look into it and decide how best to handle this.

    Allan,

    I apologize for being so abrupt about the human factors but over a 50 year career that has been "beaten" into me.

    Embarrassing delay for this one to be fixed - sorry!

    1.6.4 will address this. The calendar will no longer auto close when a date is selected, if both a date and time are shown. If only the date is to be selected it will still auto close.
