Open a new document, go on File > Properties, in the custom properties tab press add, then give it a name and choose "number" in the type box. Now in the value box insert a big number (for example with 17 digits), then close the properties window. Open it again. After that the number 12345678912345789123456789 is converted to 1,23456789123458E+025. I can't edit the number as a warning message opens saying "The value entered does not match the specified type. The value will be stored as text." and the value type is changed from Number to Text automatically. Seems the automatic converting to a float number is causing problems. I don't want that an entered value is changed by the program anyway.

The validation is made in method: bool CustomPropertiesWindow::IsLineValid( CustomPropertyLine* pLine ) const in sfx2/source/dialog/dinfdlg.cxx:1403 it seems that if data type is CUSTOM_TYPE_NUMBER, then we are always checking if the format is NF_NUMBER_SYSTEM ( #,##0.00 ) if ( CUSTOM_TYPE_NUMBER == nType ) nIndex = const_cast< SvNumberFormatter& >( m_aNumberFormatter ).GetFormatIndex( NF_NUMBER_SYSTEM ); but also valid format is also NF_SCIENTIFIC_000E00 ( 0.00E+00 ).
