Datepicker showing multiple months highlights selected day in all of them

From forums: ​http://forum.jquery.com/topic/datepicker-showing-multiple-months-highlights-selected-day-in-all-of-them.

If you configure a datepicker to show multiple months, and the field it's tied to has a date entered, when the picker opens it highlights that day of the month in all displayed months. You can see this happen in the 'Display multiple months' demo, by clicking in the field to open the picker, choosing a date, then opening the picker again. Whatever day you picked is highlighted in all months, so there's no way to tell which one is actually selected.

Revert the change made here (jquery.ui.datepicker.js, line 1496):

            (printDate.getTime() == selectedDate.getTime() ? ' ui-state-active' : '') + // highlight selected day

to this:

            (printDate.getTime() == currentDate.getTime() ? ' ui-state-active' : '') + // highlight selected day

If you are using minified & combined version of UI downloaded through ThemeRoller (jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js), you won't be able to find the line mentioned above.

Instead, try to change this (jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js, line 534):

q.getTime()==J.getTime()?" ui-state-active":""

into this:

q.getTime()==u.getTime()?" ui-state-active":""
