Input date format "YYYY MM DD" is broken (incorrect date validation)

A few minutes ago, the birth date did not show up when editing profile. Now it does again, but now the site claims valid dates have invalid months ("Please enter a valid month."). 

 

Update (from my comment below):

After testing a hunch I had, I can confirm that it seems to only affect me with my current date settings under "Localization" (https://www.geni.com/account_settings/localization).

I have "YYYY MM DD" set as the "Input Date Format". The other two options work without any problem, so something is broken with the "YYYY MM DD".

  It's on any profile, my personal one included.

  Hello, I would just like to add tha I to am experiencing this bug. I am able to enter year and month but not day when trying to enter such data as birth, death or marriage. Up until now I could enter the current date as "2021/02/10" or "2021 2 10" but now when I enter the day part the field turns red and an error message shows up saying "please enter a valid month".

  I'm also experiencing this issue. 

  The date format that we normally have used in Swedish without any problems is this: YEAR MONTH DAY (YYYY MM DD). It's NOT accepted anymore.
