I use Mp3tag 2.53. I can change tag field "Year" only with a 4-digit numeric value. It seems to have a input mask. Before, in previous versions I used 50's, 60's.....  
Can I disable the input mask?

That was introduced in v2.53.  
See [this topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/14030/1) for details.
