Calendar Not Showing by Default for Date Prompt

[nscheaffer]

We have 4.3 SP03 Patch 5 installed in our test environment. I came across an odd issue in Web Intelligence which I have reduced to this. In a free-hand SQL query when prompting for a date I do not get the calendar by default. Instead, I get this…

If I click the icon indicated with the arrow the calendar does come up.

Here is my simple free-hand SQL statement…

SELECT @Prompt('Enter Date (FHSQL):','D',,Mono,Free,Not_Persistent,,User:0) AS [Prompted Date]

I get the same thing when I click the icon to choose a date in the Query Panel of a universe query…

This is not happening in our 4.3 SP02 Patch 8 production environment.

This is not a show stopper, but annoying for sure.

Am I doing something wrong? Any way to fix this aside from installing the latest patch?

Thanks,

Noel

So apparently this is by design (see KBA 3383625). This not an improvement in my mind.

Oh well.
