Description

Environment

  • Package version(s): 3.22
  • Browser and OS versions: Firefox/Chrome 78.0 and Windows 10

Actual behavior

I have a range selected and I want to just select one specific day (without range). The way this works in Date range picker (BlueprintJS) implementation is not intuitive and also it is not consistent with how it works in react-day-picker.

Expected behavior

React-day-picker: Video made directly from http://react-day-picker.js.org/examples/selected-range/

2019-12-11_12-48-44

This method makes much more sense to me. If I have a range selected and click on either the start/end range day, then the range should be stopped and the individual day should be picked.

Possible solution

Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of the date range picker, likely in packages/datetime/src/dateRangePicker.tsx. Review the interaction logic for selecting a single day when a range is active, and compare with the expected behavior described in the issue (reset range and select the individual day). Implement the change to match react day picker's behavior.
