[GNC] bug or bad feature: entries future-dated

Using GnuCash 3.7 on Mac 10.12.6

When I enter a future-dated transaction (eg, On April 15, I enter a VISA card payment for May1, and type "5/1” into the date cell, GnuCash makes that 5/1/19 rather than 5/1/20. This creates obvious confusion in the records. I haven’t had this behavior problem in the past. Is that a bug?
