[ISSUE] Ergonomy Date picker

[mmebsout]

Sitools Version : 3.0-beta1 (PSUP instance)
Using Firefox 57.0 (64 bits)

When selecting a date in a query form (Example on dataset OMEGA data Cubes)
Click on the calendar icon
Click on the year
Select another year
Click on 'search'
=> the change of year is not taken into account on the query
To validate the change of year one has to click on a particular day (even if the day wanted is already selected)

TODO : either add an 'OK' button next to "Today"
or make the change of year effective in the form everytime the year or the month changes.

The datepicker component of ExtJs is designed to display the month days of the active date.
I mean, if you switch to the previous/next month or if you select an other month/year in the collapsible month picker panel, then the component computes the equivalent date taking in account the new month and year and set this date as the active one. When the active date changes, the interface automatically display the month of the new active date. This is why i can not easily change the datepicker behaviour considering that the user can display any month he desires without changing the active date.

The datepicker component frames the active date. If the active date is changed, it doesn't change the date written in the text field of the form until the user clicks on the day he chose. Edition is canceled clicking outside the date picker.

How about that "OK" button then ? to help the user understand he should click somewhere to validate the change. The component's behavior is still counter intuitive.
