Bug Description
When clicking on the date/time, the dropdown window contains the year/month/day I visited there previously. Since altering the month or year doesn't change the day, often today's day number is highlighted. This, along with today's date being shown at the top, very easily leads to the misbelief that the current month's calendar is being shown, which is not necessarily the case. It's terribly misleading.
(In the mean time, I understand that keeping the year/month during closure and reopening of the dropdown might be considered a feature useful for many people.)
Furthermore, there's no option to jump to today, I have to manually walk to the current year and month.
My suggestion is a "Today" button, with clearly distinguisable disabled state if it's already today's month being shown.
