Description rikster08 2020-04-17 06:16:39 UTC
Description:
I have LibreOffice Writer fully updated.  In a Table, when I select Date Format 31/12/1999 for my date column (DD/MM/YYYY) the box at the right shows 31/12/1899 - an obvious error, only a hundred years out,lol - and I can't change it. And then the column refuses to format. I do not have this problem in OpenOffice.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click to select a column in the Table
2.Select Table - Number Format - Date
3.Select 31/12/1999 - OK 
4.Enter a random date in the selected column in another format, ie: 8.5.20
5.Click anywhere else; the date should change to the selected format DD/MM/YYYY but it doesn't.  

Actual Results:
As above.

Expected Results:
As above.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
As above.
