Hello

When I edit an alarm and when I click into the Date input field and scroll bar, dialog window crash. Buttons 'Delete', 'OK' and 'Cancel' stop working.

The dialog doesn't crash. Those buttons stop working by design when the date format is not recognized - in this case I think because of the '.' separators.

For now see if using 16/01/2017 instead works while I look into this.

Ok, this is caused by a problem with the *native* IsDate() function that is used to validate date fields. It has a serious problem when the date separator is "."

I'll work around it by providing a replacement function. Thanks for letting me know about this.

Ok, should have fixed this issue for next release.

Date input and validation is always problematic because of all the different regional settings and date separators. Even the native built-in functions (such as IsDate() don't always get it right, in this case it got tripped by the use of '.' as the date separator).
