Description

To reproduce create a new event in ikhal then tick the "Allday" box, the cursor will jump to the "From:" field, if you go straight to the "To:" field via pressing the down key for instance, the From field hides the first figure. For instance on this screenshot both dates are 19/06/2019 yet the From displays 9/06/2019 which is confusing
2018-10-11-114442_636x735_scrot

On a related note, a really nice thing feature would be to auto update "To" day/time after updating the "From" fields. Like if I change the "From" date from 19/06/2019 to 20/06/2019, i would like the "to" date to be updated likewise (from 19/06/2019 to 20/06/2019)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the date-field display problem in ikhal: create an event, enable “Allday,” and move from the From field to the To field. Trace the code responsible for rendering and moving between these fields; done means the first date digit remains visible, while the requested automatic To-date update is a separate behavior to assess.
