Datepicker: Year selector disappears after setting an option in Firefox

[ThiefMaster]

1.8.12 introduced a bug breaking the year selector when setting an option after creating the datepicker.

Here's a minimal testcase: ​http://jsfiddle.net/ThiefMaster/XqT5H/1/

On Windows 7, this bug exists on Firefox 4, but not on Chrome 11 or Opera.

I'm not familiar with the JQuery UI code at all, but using the Firebug debugger, I found that this line (line 7822, near the top of _updateDatePicker) is when the dropdown actually disappears:

inst.dpDiv.empty().append(this._generateHTML(inst));

Also possibly worth noting is that if you set a breakpoint at that line, it will hit it twice, first from _setDateDatepicker and then again from _updateDatepicker. The second time is the one that makes the year dropdown go away.

Hopefully this is enough of a starting point to help someone fix this...

The issue seems to be happening only in Firefox, and is caused by the _updateDatepicker method being called twice. Removing the duplicate call seems to fix the problem.

Fix for this is provided with pull request: ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/pull/210

Unfortunately this does not fully fix the issue.

See ​http://jsfiddle.net/ThiefMaster/XqT5H/7/ for a case where it still bugs when setting an option right after creating the datepicker.

It does work when invoking the option "call" inside a zero-delay setTimeout callback though.. very odd.

Confirming that ​http://jsfiddle.net/gnarf/XqT5H/8/ in Firefox is still broken
