[GNC] unexpected closing

What version of GnuCash on what OS?

I just tested this and it works fine with v5.14 on MacOS.

Can you provide a screenshot of exactly where you clicked?

You can type in a date.

You can click the drop-down to get a calendar, but you cannot select the 
year or type over it, you have to use the toggle arrows on either side 
of it.

If your accounting period is Jan 1 to Dec 31, you can also use the 
'relative' dates of "Start/End of Previous/Current Year" instead of 
absolute dates.

-----
100% of the time in my previous experience, any rapid iteration of 
something like that was due solely to having something pressing on my 
keyboard.

Regards,
Adrien
