--- Comment #1 from Thiemo Mättig <[email protected]> ---
The first problem should have been fixed for a while now. I can't reproduce it
at wikidata.org. The auto-detection does not set "century" any more. "1400" is
auto-detected as "year". Please try to clean your browser caches.

I can reproduce the second problem. But I'm not sure if it's a bug we can fix.
The problem is: The text field contains "14. century". What should happen if
you set the precision to "year" but the text field still contains "14.
century"? This is a mismatch. The current implementation takes the value of the
text field more serious. Should the UI really touch what you typed when you
change the precision? I'm afraid this will lead to all kinds of other problems.

Current solution: Delete the value and type "1400" again. The precision will be
set to "year".

I will left this bug open because the current behavior really is a bit
confusing and we should try to think of a solution. Suggestions welcome.
