This appears as soon as you click on the icon  next to the date input field.

By clicking on the icons in the calendar popup:

• With this icon you select the current day and month in the calendar popup

• Go 1 month further

• Go 1 month back

• Show year/month selection, the popup changes to the month below and the year selection
