DatePicker select Today with SpaceBar shortcut key inserts a space on the field

[fullinet]

- Detailed description of the problem
In DatePicker when you select the "today" date with the shortcut key (space bar) a space is inserted in the end of the text in the field, making the field marked as invalid.
You can test it in the Birthday DateField the Forms example in the "Explorer Demo" ( http://www.sencha.com/examples/explorer.html#forms )

- Possible solution
One possible working solution is change the onKeyPress(ComponentEvent ce) method of the KeyNav of the DatePicker class (line 801) from:

      public void onKeyPress(ComponentEvent ce) {
        // space bar pressed
        if (ce.getKeyCode() == 32) {
          selectToday();
        }
      }

to

      public void onKeyPress(ComponentEvent ce) {
        // space bar pressed
        if (ce.getKeyCode() == 32) {
          ce.stopEvent();
          selectToday();
        }
      }

Nice,
I used stopEvent() because I watched onKeyLeft() method.
