Starting yesterday, I believe, the “Insert date/time” has changed.

I can no longer click on the “time” and insert the preferred time, now I get a drop-down menu and have to scroll to the correct numbers. This is very cumbersome and I have a terrible time getting the scroll to stop somewhere near where I want it (I’m on desktop).

Can it be put back to fill-in-the-blank?

(what I’m doing right now is just inserting some random time and then editing it to the correct time in the actual post - extra work)

Oh we moved to a native date picker. @j.jaffeux is there anything we can do here?

The behaviour you want is actually present, the issue is about css which is not showing you have focus.

I made a PR which should improve this:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12833](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12833)

You should now correctly see the various focus cases:

From here, you can use up/down arrows, numbers and tab to change it from keyboard.
