The age field in event doesn't allow any changes

The age field doesn't allow any changes - once a number is entered, it can't be changed or removed. Demonstrated below with virtual keyboard, but same happens with hardware keyboard too.

What happens if you select the entire line and press Backspace or Delete?

Actually, that's a fun one. If I select all and delete (Ctrl+A, Delete), I get this:

And then yes, I can edit the field, including the slot in the middle of ye_r(s) word :D This allows me to change or remove the value from the event, which is nice workaround. If I save the age and click on it again though, the value is stuck again (with year(s) word fixed) until I do the Ctrl+A, Delete trick again

Oh, and this:

Saves as:

Which I guess is expected, but mentioning anyway for this issue completeness

And I just noticed, I can also just put cursor at the end (End key) and hold Backspace to remove all - works same as Ctrl+A, Delete. Both ways remove all numbers and all the a's :D And actually, I don't have to Backspace all the way, can backspace some and type new numbers in place of what I erased (but nothing in the earlier part of the text)

on a side note, the field is pretty bad UX-wise to scroll horizontally (with the days part hidden initially), would love to have the >/< dropdown narrow and the input part wider.
