I'm unable to reproduce this. Can you clarify the third step a little more?

[filcuk]

Of course; what I meant by the 3rd step is that user can continue using Vikunja, but so long as the page isn't reloaded in browser, the 'today' date will not update.
This can cause one to set incorrect due dates, if not careful.

To reproduce, you must not close browser or reload page.
This, in my use case, is common by the tab being pinned (stays loaded) and the device hibernating between sessions (browser stays open for days).

This is on the latest Firefox. I would not expect it to be different elsewhere, but if this is unexpected behaviour, please let me know and I'll test further.

Managed to reproduce it, but not reliably. Will look into a fix.

I've looked into it and it seems like the problem is caused by flatpickr. Since the library is essentially unmaintained since two years, I'll migrate away from it in the short term, though not in time for the next release. Until then, this issue will stay open, just so that you know.
