Because the scheduleDatePicker isn't changable by keyboard then it forces users to use the mouse to change this value, even though all other widgets are changable by keyboard.  This breaks the flow of editing a task.

Registered key listeners etc. on the date picker do not get propagated to the
child widgets.

The control does not have accessibility support, e.g. Alt+Down does not trigger
the schedule menu.
