[fields][DateField] on Android: using DateField on firefox doesn't work

[michelengelen]

@LukasTy another android bug to fix :/

Maybe even related to #13620 ?

The problem could be related to how Firefox controls the keyboard.
@shirRefundco could you clarify if a numeric or text (regular messaging) keyboard is open when you experience this issue?
Chrome on Android always opens "numeric" keyboard when requested and works without problems.

Locally forcing numeric inputMode avoids this problem.

So, Firefox on Android is unhappy about the dynamically changing inputMode (it changes to numeric only after a numeric section is focused).

P.S. I've locally debugged both Chrome and Firefox and it seems that Chrome is working fine with text inputMode.
This could be a problem with Firefox event handling.
When trying to enter value in input the given section ends up containing 3 characters instead of 2 and we fail parsing those. 🙈
