Hi,
I created a igDateEditor field and then edited the data there.
I select all dates (double click or highlighted) and drag the text out of this Editor (containing the date), then drop mouse and the whole date is lost (example: ____/__/__).I also tried the example at https://www.igniteui.com/editors/date-editorand the same fault.Why is this happening? Is this the igDateEditor bug?
Hello Duong,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics Developer Support.
We have got the same question before.Please take a look at the following forum post.https://www.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/107327.aspx
The behavior you mention is due to a "standard cutting functionality of the input tag".So it is not the igDateEditor's fault.
I hope this will help.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know.

Thanks for your answer.
I still wonder why igNumber and igText did not make this fault, but igDateEditor is.
Hi Duong,
As Tatsushi pointed, this behavior is triggered from the default browser action for cutting selected text once you drag it with your mouse, after it's highlighted. The difference for all the three editors you're mentioning is that igMaskEditor, igDateEditor and igDatePicker all have default input masks. When cutting value from them while in edit mode the editor executed specific logic to handle deletion correctly, because after the deletion the input mask should remain, but not be cleared. the behavior should be same as if you highlight the text and hit backspace, or delete key on the keyboard.
Thanks,
