Description Dan Dascalescu 2018-01-04 10:25:34 UTC 
Description:
Not sure this is a "bug" per se, but as an en-US user, I'm used to typing M(M)/D(D) HH:MM, e.g. "12/28 9:00" and getting a datetime (December 28, 9am in this case).

The problem is that typing 1/2 in a date formatted results in the character ½. Same for 1/4 -> ¼.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Format a column as Date
2. Type 1/2


Actual Results:  
½

Expected Results:
The date January 2nd


Reproducible: Always

Adjust Tools-AutoCorrect-AutoCorrect Options... and remove those "1/2" etc from Replace tab if you don't need them. Or just disable AutoCorrect while typing for times when you don't need it.

The "disabling while typing" was for Writer, sorry; but the rest is applicable to Calc.
