Datepicker not opens to previous date if format is used without a day

[Boro]

For some reason the datepicker doesn't open to previously selected date if I use format that doesn't include day (e.g. 'MM yy'), as demonstrated here ​http://jsfiddle.net/nEGTv/2/

This is related to the question I raised on Stack Overflow ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9838473/jquery-ui-datepicker-not-opening-to-previously-selected-date-if-format-doesnt-i

The datepicker is only designed to pick days, not months.

Related to #7759.

I understand what you are trying to say though I disagree similarly to the person in the related ticket (#7759), that text field should only present it to user rater than being also data source.

BTW: if you call method getDate it returns correct values, so why it is not used instead when opening the datapicker dialog?
