Still, there is an issue with typing date manually into a date-picker. When the date-picker is getting focused, the calendar would open, and then it works fine whether you type a date or select one from the picker. But when you re-click the input so the picker gets away and then when you type a date in but it won't be changed.

I also recorded a video on the following link that can help to reproduce the issue.

This is something you should fix it and release into the coming versions as per your comfort. But currently I'm also looking for a quick solution if possible.
