Popup closes if the newly selected start date is before the current end date
When the DateRangePicker has value, opening the popup to select a new start date results in automatically closing the popup if the new start date is before the end date. Thus, the user cannot easily change the end date.

Up to 6.0.2 the popup remained opened regardless of the selected start date.

I do not currently have this problem as I'm not using this component, however after watching the video, I agree that the 6.0.2 behavior is much more user friendly than the current "fixed" behavior. I believe a better user experience should trump a flawed design that works as the developers intended. Just my 2 cents :). I have no dog in the fight, but wanted to chime in. Thanks!

Hi Sankar Kumar,

After an additional review from the development team, we've confirmed that this behavior is not a regression - the DateRangePicker is intended to bahave like so. By design, the calendar popup should close after a valid selection is made. Selecting a new start date that is before the current end date effectively results in a valid date range selection, so the popup closes.

That said, I have marked the item with a "Won't fix" status as it is not a valid bug/regression. In a future product version, we may consider providing an option to keep the popup open in this scenario. This will be tracked as part of the following item: Review DateRangePicker selection UX.
