Hi Team,

While going through Blink's commit, I came cross following commit:

Blink Commit - https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=163682
WebKit GitHub Source - https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/html/shadow/DateTimeNumericFieldElement.cpp#43 & https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/html/shadow/DateTimeNumericFieldElement.cpp#177 etc

I am able to reproduce the issue, when trying to go to year-field and if you just type "19" and take one second and type "87", it will show "0087".

Link - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/datetime-local

I think it might be causing some automated test cases failure as well.

Thanks!

This is intentional behavior on Apple ports, to align with the native date picker.

I don't expect to that the timeout will be removed, but I would like to increase it. However, that will need to be done in alignment with the native control.
