A Bug? No, that’s a feature…

I noticed this date picker while using a bug ticketing system. The backstory is that I needed to enter in an estimated date for responding to a customer. Lo and behold, this dialog popped up with the option to select “BC”. I try to be proactive, but logging my response 4014 years prior to the original request is pushing it.

I can only presume that this picker was not written by the application’s developers but, instead, picked à la carte from prefab controls.
