There appears to be a focus issue with the always on calendar setup. I have been able to reproduce this even on the tools demo page.
The result of the bug appears to be some type of focus issue which forces the user to click twice. I first thought I was being forced to click a hyperlink twice but in fact you just need to click anywhere and then click your desired link which is telling me it is some sort of focus issue.
To reproduce issue:
Go to: http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/dateinput/static.html
Try a link in the right nav and you should find that it appears to not work. Click again and it does. Now refresh (you should note the calendar blue box with current date is also now empty) click anywhere on the screen (page background would be best for this example) now try same nav link again, this time it works first time.
Now remove calendar from page all together. Load page and try same nav link. This time it works right the first time.
Something else I noticed if it helps.
If you do a "alert(document.activeElement);" after the initial phantom click that appears to do nothing the anchor that was clicked is shown as being active element however the href assigned to that anchor was never triggered.
example:
first click:
So to me it appears that the focus is getting moved to the anchor but because of whatever is going on the hyperlink is not triggered.
I have been able to reproduce all of this on FF 3.6.3 & IE on both the demo page as well as my own location where I am installing.
