Calendar component: date input value is removed when a date before mindDate is entered

[rolsmam]

Describe the bug

When I type a date in the inputfield before the minDate, the complete input is erased. Before PrimeNG 17.16.0, the input remained in the inputfield and was shown as invalid (red border). It happens here:

primeng/src/app/components/calendar/calendar.ts

Line 1605 in 1594516

}

Environment

<p-calendar
#calendar
dateMask
(inputMaskValid)="handleInput($event)"
(onSelect)="handleCalendarSelect($event)"
[(ngModel)]="date"
(ngModelChange)="onChange($event)"
[keepInvalid]="true"
[showOnFocus]="false"
[showWeek]="true"
[showIcon]="true"
[dateFormat]="primeNGCalendarFormat"
placeholder="dd-mm-jj"
[minDate]="minDate ?? defaultMinDate"
