Description Alexis PAQUIN 2016-09-05 12:53:33 UTC
Created attachment 127155 [details]
Delete cell content Date

Hey,

Since LO 4.2, we can't delete cell content Date.

With the attached file, select all cells, use "Sheet - Clear Cells", chose "Date & Time" and then OK. 
Result Date cells aren't delete.

I find an easy fix. In fact, since LO 4.2 the Date cell type disappear.

I will try to commit this fix and add the commit number.

Best reagards.

Did not check how far back the issue exists, but confirming.

Here are a bit better STR rather than selecting all.

Open attachment 127155 [details]
Select the two cells with dates A1 & C1
Context menu -> Clear Contents to open
Delete Contents dialog
uncheck all
check Date & Time
OK to apply

Expected -- the Dates selected are cleared

Actual -- the Dates are not changed

Selecting "Numbers" on the Delete Contents dialog clears the cells--so either the cells are not recognized as holding dates (even though they format as dates), or the Delete Contents dialog has faulty logic.

Hey,

Before commit the fix, i can tell you that the Date & Time cells aren't recognized during delete contents.

To fix it, i add a boolean to identify the Date & Time cells.

The Delete contents dialog is good.

Do you want the class source file ?

Best regards.

Alexis
