min-date attribute does not disable the day prior to the given min-date

[Asvarduil]

Reproduction Plunker can be found here

Steps to Reproduce:

In the reproduction plunker, observe that '2000-01-02' is pre-set as the min-date for the datepicker.

Click the text field to open the calendar

Navigate to January 2000

Observe that 1/1/2000 is selectable

Observed Results:
1/1/2000 is selectable, with a min-date of 1/2/2000.

Expected Results:
1/1/2000 should not be selectable, with a min-date of 1/2/2000.

If you use the date format you specified (MM/dd/yyyy - 01/02/2000) or bind to an actual date it works as expected.

That's not noted in the documentation. I referred to the sample code snippet. I'll change that and report on the result.

Changing my min-date/max-date to 01/01/2000 and 12/31/2099 worked as you described. However, I was not able to infer this from the documentation (2000-01-01 is the same thing as 01/01/2000, after all.) Would it be appropriate to open a different ticket to request that information be made clearer in the documentation?

[RobJacobs]

Let's give others a chance to comment, I'm not sure if that's the intended behavior or not.

Actually, there is a bug here, if the input is a string, we're not parsing it with the format specified. I would've expected that this would be resolved by changing the format to yyyy-dd-MM.
We should also clarify this behavior on the documentation once it's fixed.

I think my PR #3606 will cover this one. It considers the format when parsing the min-date and max-date.

Can reproduce here.

This looks like potentially a timezone bug because of the manual string conversion into a date object.

Much of this boils down to how javascript interprets the yyyy-MM-dd format.
