Carret moved to end of input when date is invalid

[fbeauche]

With the day picker directive ( and day time picker directive ), the carret is moved to the end of the input when the date is invalid.

This does not happens with the components.

After experiencing this issue as well, I had a quick look at the code and suspect this issue is occurring due to date-picker.directive.ts:184 and date-picker.directive.ts:200.

It appears that the form control is being updated all the time, which pushes the cursor to the end?

I get why this is happening when the user selects a date from the picker, but when they're typing via the input box, we probably don't need to update the input box again (it should already have the value).

@vlio20 is this the same reason why attempting to type in the date would flicker?

Might be.
