EasyTAG will attempt to automatically correct a date tag. Perhaps other autocorrections happen too but I'll focus on the date autocorrection for this bug.

The bug: EasyTAG doesn't show the autocorrected date value until the user specifically clicks on the file or uses the arrow keys to move the cursor over the file.

As a result, EasyTAG won't save the autocorrected value into the file until the file is marked as changed. Therefore autocorrected changes are unknown to the user and uncommitted to the affected files. This reduces the utility of autocorrection.

Here are the steps to illustrate the bug:

1. Prepare a directory filled with files where the date value is in the form of year-month-date (such as "1983-01-02") instead of just the year. This should get EasyTAG to try to autocorrect the date to become just the year. I used a directory of FLAC audio files for this.

2. Load that directory into EasyTAG. Immediately you see no files indicating the need to be saved. This strikes me as a bug.

3. Click on one of the files and notice that the file is now red or bold indicating that EasyTAG saw the need for a change, changed the date tag, and is telling the user that this file is now in need of saving.

I expected EasyTAG to indicate autocorrected values and any changed values immediately on directory loading so all I'd have to do is select all the files, save, and commit EasyTAG's autocorrections.
