Opening a date field without a default may show different dates for today and cursor in non-UTC time zones

[rakunavi]

Hello all,

If no default value is set in the form's date field, (A) today's date enclosed in a blue border and (B) the default value highlighted by a gray cursor should match.

However, I noticed that (A) is today's date “based on the system's time zone,” while (B) is always today's date “based on UTC.” Therefore, due to time zone differences, there may be periods where the dates in (A) and (B) differ. Note that Adobe Acrobat does not have this issue; (A) and (B) always display the same date.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.
