Hi,

on moodle.fhnw.ch, we noticed that the dateselector could appear in wrong places (like: always at the top of the page).

While this is probably a CSS-YUI interaction bug, we noticed:

the definition of constraints in lib/form/yui/dateselector/dateselector.js is incoherent:
- on line 118, the M.form.dateselector is constrained to the 'form' ancestor
- on line 248, the panel is then re-constrained to the 'body' ancestor.
  This was addressed in ~~MDL-32297~~ but apparently partly so.
we could restore a sane behaviour by dropping the dateselector constrains completely.

The patch to do the latter as well as a screenshot of the problem are attached.

has a non-specific relationship to

MDL-26649 Date picker formslib element usability improvements

is a regression caused by

MDL-32297 date_time_selector popup is too constrained
