Date field freezing when typing a date manually

[ottyacat]

When manually typing a date into a date field, the whole browser tab locks up for an extended period of time.

Steps to reproduce:

   
• Open budget
• Click on account
• Click add new transaction
• Start typing 15/01/2016, I can only get to 15/01/20 before it locks up for 10-30 seconds before becoming responsive again. It then appears to work ok until you refresh the browser or close the tab and the delay occurs again.

Tested on Chrome, Firefox, Edge on Windows on multiple computers, same on all.

Hi @ottyacat

Can you let me know the locale you're using?

Thanks

Well, that's a fun issue. It's trying to get the category balances for a year that's XXX (like literally A.D. 123) which is causing perf issues.

I made a quick fix that will restrict dates to > 1970.
