@majapw Hi, I am just curious, since I am also using this library in my side project. I do realize that Keyboard navigation is not functional as well (Chrome 69 on Win10 machine). Can you confirm with that?

I tested this on Edge on a Windows machine in the latest version, and am not seeing the issue anymore. I also noticed that in 18.4.1, there was a change to make the inputs tabbable (https://github.com/airbnb/react-dates/pull/1499). There is a flicker issue (https://github.com/airbnb/react-dates/issues/1523) that that PR introduced, with an open PR (https://github.com/airbnb/react-dates/pull/1553) to address that. Would recommend upgrading to the latest version (or waiting until that PR gets merged and a new release gets out if you are holding out on the flicker behavior) to address this issue (though the flicker shouldn't affect your specific use case cause it's only for the date range picker).
