In the admin date picker widget there are two buttons to go to the
previous month (<) and to the next month (>). While hovering the mouse
over it they do some "scroll up" animation.
1. I don't think the animation is any helpful to indicate that you are
hovering with the mouse over the button. A colour highlight of some sort
would be more helpful.
2. The animation is for some reason not consistent. When you pressed the
previous month button once, leave the button and hover over it again, the
animation is **not** shown. If you hover over the next month button, the
animation is shown. This confusing and not helpful at all.
I've attached a short video that hopefully better shows the issue.
This was performed with Firefox 121.0.1
The admin date picker overall looks dated (no pun intended) and lacks
functions that are now commonly expected, like a way to select the month
or the year directly. There is already a ticket for that #9388
