Description

In the TYPO3 backend you have a datepicker in the date fields. When you click in the input field and change the day manually (backspace and type new day manually) and then want to get to the month using the arrow keys, the day flips back to the initial number. The arrow key is used to change the day in the datepicker here. So no "normal" navigation in the input field is possible anymore. I have a website with many (mid-aged) editors and they find this really confusing.

I think it would make sense to deactivate the "keyboard navigation" in the datepicker. Or don't allow keyboard interaction in the input field itself - forcing the editor to use the datepicker.
