Description Mike Kaganski 2020-04-15 07:02:02 UTC
1. In a new text document, add a table.
2. Check number format of a cell of the table (Table->Number Format); then click Cancel.
=> it's "@"; category is "Text"; language is Default.
3. It the same cell, press "="
=> Formula bar appears, as if F2 was pressed
4. Cancel the formula, and put the cursor in another cell
5. Open Format Number dialog (as in step 2), select Number category ("General" format gets selected), click OK.
6. Open Format Number dialog again, select Text category ("@" format gets selected), click OK.
7. Press "="
=> This time, no formula bar appears. "=" is put into the cell as is.

So, changing original cell format (reported as "Text" - "@") to another format, then back to "Text" - "@" (as in steps 5 and 6), changes the cell behaviour. Looks like the original cell format is not shown correctly (at least some indication missing?), or changing the format also modifies some other setting - which?

Dear Mike Kaganski,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

Warm Regards,
QA Team
