Description sfrjoe 2018-05-06 06:14:50 UTC
Description:
Action: Format column as DATE dd MMM CCYY   "6 MAY 18"
Problem:fails to hold this format for subsequent cells in spreadsheet.
This bug is intermittent, usually shows up after saving sheet and reloading some time later.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select Column to format as date
2.Right click and select "Format Cells"
3.Select "Date" and "31 Dec 99"
4.Enter some dates, save and close, then reload some time later. 

Actual Results:  
31/12/99

Expected Results:
31 Dec 99


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This problem has been in existence for a number of versions.
As an aside - activating "soffice.exe" stops Windows 7 from refreshing a screen when a change has occurred. Pressing F5 is the only way to refresh until you restart Windows.  But when you again activate "soffice.exe" refresh again fails.

example off cell style date format

I suggest you use cell style for your custom date format and not to use direct format on the column.

For me its not a bug.
If you are not agree you can reopen the report as unconfirmed
Comment 2 sfrjoe 2018-05-06 07:06:16 UTC
You suggest using custom cell format.

Why show "3 Dec 99" as a default format if it does not work?
Comment 3 Xisco Faulí 2018-05-07 11:46:05 UTC
Putting back to UNCONFIRMED until someone else confirms it...

Xavier thought YOU were using a custom format.

For which language is that a default format for?
