p-calendar in range mode does not allow manually typing single date

[sandrotonon]

Describe the bug

Using p-calendar in range mode. Need to be able to type in a single date. This can be selected from the UI picker by clicking a date and outside the calendar. However, if a single date is typed in manually then the input is rejected and the calendar reverts to an empty value.
The input is only accepted if a full range is manually typed in.

Any updates to this? I see also another problem in single dates: If date is higher than "maxDate" it stays in the input field. This is not the behaviour I see when I put in both range dates, where its gets deleted automatically.
