I decided the keyboard topic is a bit too much for me to chew on at the moment, but GOOD NEWS! There was an actual bug in the date algorithm on the timeline which @zogstrip’s team resolved. 
It’s … sort of fixed. If you move to the end you get the correct date (Jan 16) but I’m noticing the fix is a bit incomplete since scrolling up just a little gives me “Jan 2020” which … isn’t correct. We’ll take a closer look.
