entering date field

Polgs · Today, 08:14 PM

I often change the "date" field on an entry and I have noticed a very slight anomaly. When entering the date, I start with the day number as 2 digits and the cursor jumps to the month field. I then start entering the month name and for most months I only need 3 chars, e.g. Jan or Feb, and the cursor then jumps to the year field. However, if the month is June, July or September, I need to enter 4 chars before the cursor moves to the year field, even though Jun, Jul and Sep are unique ways to write month names. Then, after I have finished entering the whole date, the displayed date shows the 3 char value of Jun, Jul & Sep.
Can we please have Jun, Jul & Sep accepted as valid input for month names?

Thanks

That control is provided by Qt not calibre, you would need to ask them to change it.
