Bug description

I've typed in my birthdate into the date field of my profile...
When the cursor reached the year-section, it has overwritten the date and month section with other numbers... (I didn't understood the logic behind)

Image

I was born in 198x, but it's not possible to type in that number/year.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open your profile
  2. Try to type in your birthdaydate
Expected behavior

I think it's clear... my b-date

Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem in the profile birthday date field on Nextcloud Server 30, using the reported steps and environment as a baseline. Trace the profile date-field entry point and verify that typing a year preserves the entered month and day, then confirm the birthday can be saved correctly.
