Hi,
Thank you for the comprehensive details in regard to the reproduction of the issue.
In terms of accessibility, I completely agree that the described behavior for the selection of the date in the Date popup might seem counter-intuitive for users that have a visual impairment.
In this regard, I found the following GitHub issue that a colleague of ours has logged from a previous discussion of yours:
https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/7028
Although, at first glance, the GitHub issue might not seem closely coupled to the currently reported behavior, the same behavior is also applicable to the DateRangePicker as well. To elaborate more, this is due to the fact that the selected date will be explicitly decorated with the "k-selected" class.
This can be observed by utilizing the browser inspector and hovering over the selected date to see the rendered markup:
With that in mind, I have increased the item's priority in order to move it upwards in our queue of bug reports.
For further bringing this to our attention, I have also updated your Telerik points as a token of appreciation.
Kind Regards,
Alexander
