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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
Still repro using Version: 7.3.3.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1688991ca59a3ca1c74bc2176b274fba1b034928 CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US Calc: CL
The problem arises from the difference between handling of "default number format" in different places in Writer. The Number Format dialog is handled in SwTableShell::Execute (case FN_NUM_FORMAT_TABLE_DLG), with the code explicitly taking "NF_TEXT" for "default" case (the result is 100). Even if it would not do that - e.g., in multi-selection case, when eState is INVALID, the pool default is still text (100). On the other hand, e.g. SwEditShell::IsTableBoxTextFormat (used when pressing "=" in an empty cell) initializes the format with 0 (which is "Standard", i.e., numeric); for any case when it's not explicitly set, it will use that value. That makes it completely inconsistent.
SwTableBox::HasNumContent also treats absent RES_BOXATR_FORMAT as format 0.
