Input field focus issue on Safari

[carmoreira]

On version 1.6.3, when using Safari, after a date/time is set, if we go back to edit the value manually instead of choosing from the date/time picker, the input field looses the cursor focus, allowing us to edit maybe one or two characters only. In a scenario where users would also write the date/time manually it's a bit annoying. This didn't happen on version 1.5.2.
Not sure what's causing this.

I am also having this issue. Its obstructing the ability to manually edit the input fields. Which is unfortunate because other than this issue the features meet my needs very well.

I have verified that the bug is introduced in 1.6.0

Any fix for this?

Seems it has to do with setSelectionRange which obviously is implemented something different in Safari. I tried w/o that line and it works. Don't know why we need that there anyhow.
Maybe one can fix it in a pull request as I have no time and knowledge for that. thx!

I'm experiencing the same issue. But it appears only, if I set a custom dateFormat (e.g. 'dd.mm.yy') and the focus is lost only, when typing of the date is finished. I fixed it with a WORKAROUND:

• Set option timeInput: true
• Set Focus back to Input after typing using JQuery

My guess is, that it somehow has to do with the altField-Funktionality?...
