Thanks for this tip. I wasn't aware of this, and while I see the possible
utility, I find this behavior quite surprising. Being now aware, I am also
surprised by not being able to select non-consecutive dates this way.

I find this quite irrelevant; what I see as relevant is that the user action of
picking a date is cognitively distinct from that of picking a date-range, and I
don't think they should be handled the same way.

I think this also holds at least for work-week, as there is no way to pick the
work-week from the date-picker (except as a set of consecutive dates, which is
cumbersome for something that is pre-defined).

However, the originally reported bug, as I understand it from the original
submission, and as detailed in my comment #5, appears to be no more in trunk.
Perhaps it is now time to close this bug and continue the discussion about the
main-view's response to date-picking somewhere else?

Thanks for the good work,

Shai.
