I guess this can cause real-world problems: I just scheduled a meeting
for an incorrect date since I was viewing the wrong month. Though in
fairness it was partially my fault since I knew about this bug. Any
chance it’ll be fixed in Trusty? Thanks!

Title:
  Does not open with "today", can't jump there

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When clicking on the date/time, the dropdown window contains the
  year/month/day I visited there previously. Since altering the month or
  year doesn't change the day, often today's day number is highlighted.
  This, along with today's date being shown at the top, very easily
  leads to the misbelief that the current month's calendar is being
  shown, which is not necessarily the case. It's terribly misleading.

  (In the mean time, I understand that keeping the year/month during
  closure and reopening of the dropdown might be considered a feature
  useful for many people.)

  Furthermore, there's no option to jump to today, I have to manually
  walk to the current year and month.

  My suggestion is a "Today" button, with clearly distinguisable
  disabled state if it's already today's month being shown.
