Description sunbear.c22 2020-03-13 10:59:18 UTC
Description:
Whenever dates pertaining to February 2020 are keyed, it always show the dates with the year appearing as 20. For example, 05/02/2020 will appear as 05/02/20. This issue does not happen for Jan or Mar 2020.

To fix this problem, I do a right-click of the mouse and select "Format Cells..." . Thereafter, I set (Category= Date), (Format Code = DD/MM/YY) and click "Ok".

The correct date format is now shown. A few months ago, this approach could not fix this date format issue. Now it works. But, there is a new issue. When I not click the cell with the newly formatted date to go into edit mode, the date format in the edit-mode reverts back to the default date format of MM/DD/YY instead of retaining the DD/MM/YYY format. It happens only in the cell edit mode for the column B; quite confusing for a user.   

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any cell in column B and type 05/02/2020, i.e. 5th of Feb 2020.
2. Right-click cell and select Format Cell....
3. Set (Category= Date), (Format Code = DD/MM/YY) and click "Ok".
4. Double click cell again.


Actual Results:
Showed 02/05/20 in cell edit mode.

Expected Results:
Show 05/02/2020


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

6.0, like 6.1 and 6.2 branches are EOL.
Could you give a try to last stable LO version 6.3.5?

Hi folks

Version: 6.4.1.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 4d224e95b98b138af42a64d84056446d09082932
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI-Render: GL; VCL: win; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE
Calc: CL


I can decribe it as so::

I am german, my typical national date format is dd, mm, jj or jjjj.

I can format any date in the cells to be displayed correctly as i ever want.
(for example "FR, 04 january ..." )

If i click on the cell, the cells display is NOT altered in any way,
BUT in  the "Eingabezeile" which might be "INPUTLINE" on top of the sheet

the selected cell is displayed in the "different" format "dd.mm.jjjj",
which might be the default format for my localised LO version.

WHEN i doubleclick the cell, the format ALTERS to the same format of the INPUTLINE.

---------------
Dates displayed in the DOUBLECLICKED CELL (edit mode ?)
as well in the "EingabeZeile" / "Inputline"

seems to be displayed WITHOUT any formatting.
---------------


I DONT BELIEVE THIS EVER SHOULD GET ANY BUG STATUS at all.

kind regards
jürgen

Doubleclicked (edit-mode) or in Inputline
i assume 

"RAW Value format"

Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
