When you click a date on a default calendar, that date becomes .active, changing color to indicate that it was selected. If you go forward a month, and then back, your selection is still active.
If you use selectAdjacentDays: true, and you click a date in the bottom row (beginning of next month), it will jump to that month, and your selection will be active. However if you then go back one month, you will see that date, but it will not be active.
selectAdjacentDays: true Persistence of selected date.
Chaos, elevator music, hangnails, walking into walls.
