Bug Description

Month calendar in the datetime pull-down makes it longer than krillin's screen.

You have to scroll it once opened, which is less than ideal.

This is one of the reasons that I omitted the calendar from the phone menu design in the first place. (The other reason is that on a phone, a calendar in a full-screen menu has little benefit compared to just switching to the calendar app; both completely cover whatever other app you’re using.)

Well, the bug could be easily solved using a slightly smaller font/layout. But you make a good point about the calendar app.

If it's in the indicator at all (I think it should be despite previous comments), then the user has an expectation they can touch/click it to do calendar things, which would open the calendar app.
