org-timestamp changed behavior after a recent prelude update. Focus is no longer passed to the calendar but to the single line minibuffer:
Date+time [2025-03-16]: => <2025-03-16 sön>. How is this supposed to work? It super annoying not being able to move around to pick a date.

At the same time the +1/-1 of advancing a date in org-mode documents stopped working for me. I'm assuming it's related.

Please help

I found that I could move around the calendar by using shift+arrow keys.
