If I choose a date within this year, only day and month are filled. The year field stays empty. If I change the date to another year everything is fine, also if I change back to the preselected year 2000. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a new contact in the address book 2.Select the private tab 3.Push the dropdown menu at the birthday field 4.Select a date within the preselected year Actual Results: You should see the day and month fields are filled but the year field stays empty. Expected Results: The day, month and year field should be filled.

That behavior was intentional; people often know only the day and month (sometimes the age, and, less often, the year) on which a person was born so the datepicker doesn't fill in the year element. Trying to select a year on which a person was born through the datepicker popup is difficult. The year is only filled in from the datepicker if it changes within the datepicker popup. See bug 13595 comment 115 Closing this as INVALID for now, but will be reopened if enough people are concerned about this.
