Description Drury Woodson 2015-04-22 21:08:11 UTC 
Using this accounting format code:
[>0]" ฿"* #,##0.00 ;[RED][<0]" ฿"* (#,##0.00);" ฿"* -# ;@ 
the currency symbol is not left justified.  

If I use the same code with '$' instead of '฿' the currency symbol is properly left justified.

In LO 4.4.0.3 release this problem affected all my '฿' cells.  When I opened the same document in LO 4.4.2.2 release some of the cells were correctly formatted and some weren't.  When I edited the values in the correctly formatted cells, the formatting reverted and the currency symbol lost its left justification.

FYI, the '฿' symbol is a popular workaround for the current lack of a unicode bitcoin currency symbol.  I did not test to see what other currency symbols may be affected.

No bug with $, € or £ currency symbol, or %.
With ฿ preview is correct, but not display in cell.
Bug appears with simple format such as:
฿* 0
Comment 6 Eike Rathke 2020-08-28 20:20:03 UTC 
That is because
฿ U+0E3F THAI CURRENCY SYMBOL BAHT
is in the Unicode block Thai and for this ambiguous script case triggers a different layout which does not handle the number format fill character; I'm not sure if it even could, maybe for this horizontal case it would be non-easily possible. Could be interesting for some locales and might be a challenging change.

[Implementation note: ScOutputData::DrawEditParam::readCellContent() and its callers i.e. ScOutputData::DrawEditStandard(), vs ScDrawStringsVars::SetText() called from ScOutputData::LayoutStrings()]

However, anyway, since 2016 as of Unicode 10.0 there is a proper character
₿ U+20BF BITCOIN SIGN
and using that just works.

Dear Drury Woodson,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
