Date of birth data entry bug

[fishbaugher]

I could not enter "8/20/60" as a birthdate.. when I entered "20" the input mask changed to:

and I was unable to enter either 60 or 1960 leaving:

I had to manually edit the string to remove the extraneous / character and the "2024" before getting:

While I did eventually find a work around, this is the kind of input mask error that will annoy users and is evidence of immature forms.

This is a third party control so we may have to get them involved, but I'm not sure yet as I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. A few questions:

• Can you recreate it consistently? If so, can you send over a video of it happening from when the screen you are on first loads?
• Can you detail the exact keys you press on the keyboard to make this happen once you are in the Date of Birth field? This would include forward slashes, etc. This may not be easily distinguished from the video alone so this would be helpful even with the video
• What browser are you using? If you have the option to try it on a different browser, can you see if it happens there as well?

Here is a screen recording of my working with the date field on the contact form.

I am trying to enter the date "8/20/1960" with the keyboard. Initially it succeeds, but when I try to delete and re-enter the date, the input mask starts interacting making it difficult to enter the above date. Note: I am using Firefox browser on a Mac.
