--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 
<[email protected]> ---
Confirmed that this widget makes it very impractical to pick a year far from
the default date. It applies to the win and gen VCL plugins. The same widget is
used in e.g. the date content control.
The gtk3 widget is different in that it does not limit to picking a year from a
list of 3.

So I think there's two issues:
- the widget is impractical in its current state
- the field should allow entering a date by hand

Modern versions of such date pickers are often designed to allow both entering
a date by hand, while switching between increasingly large time ranges like
decades with the pointer. See for example Shiny's Date widget:
