This feels like a potential security issue of sorts, completely locks up the browser tab

Just ran into this over the weekend and would like to give it a bump. It's a massive usability issue when what you're trying to do surrounds a year boundary. Any time you have a "2023" you need to change to a "2024", if you backspace the "3", you run the risk of the entire tab crashing.

There was a test that was created while we were trying to address this issue. Unfortunately, changes didn't work as expected, so that the issue is still relevant, the test fails:

gantt
title A long Gantt Diagram
dateFormat   YYYY-MM-DD
axisFormat   %m-%d
tickInterval 1day
excludes     weekends

section Section
A task           : a1, 9999-10-01, 30d
Another task     : after a1, 20d
section Another
Task in sec      : 2022-10-20, 12d
another task     : 24d

Because the problem is still present we will comment out this test, and later one any contributor can give it a shot and try fixing it.
