Bug in "Insert Date"

Hi Jesse!

I just started using TaskPaper again after a while and found that “Insert Date” is not working as previously. When I pick a date in the date picker it inserts "YYYY-MM-DD " (including a space at the end) which means that I can’t just press ENTER to finish the process. I first have to move the cursor to the entry field and delete the space.

I’m pretty sure this hasn’t been an issue in the past, so find it a bit strange. I’ve just started using macOS Sequoia, so maybe it’s somehow related to that?

Best,
Vinho

Yeah, I don’t remember exactly how this worked before, but seems wrong now.

The problem isn’t the space inserted at the end of the text (that will get trimmed), instead it’s the fact that the date picker control grabs keyboard focus. I think what I will do is just don’t allow it to grab focus… so the focus will always stay in the text field.

Note that even when the focus is in text field you can still use arrow keys to move between days. Anyway, does that seem resonable: When click on calendar date, the date will change, but focus will stay in the text field?

Please try this preview release and see if it fixes problem for you:

I just tested this and it appears to be working after the update. Thank you for continuing to make small fixes like this.
