Description: Typing a month and year (e.g., December 1981) into a table cell automatically converts the cell entry to a date format (12/01/81). This is the most annoying and dumbest "feature" I have encountered in years. Further, there is no readily evident way of stopping the conversion and preserving the text format so that it will not change automatically to a date format. PLEASE REMOVE THIS "FEATURE"! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type "December 1981" into table cell, then tab to or click in next cell. Actual Results: Automatically converts text to date style: 12/01/81. Expected Results: It should not automatically change my style based on some senseless anticipation of what "I really intended to do."

This works as intended, has a documented configuration (uncheck menu Table->Number Recognition; additional ways documented at [1]). This question is not a bug report or feature request, but rather a user question (of "How to" category) that should be asked on user support resources like https://ask.libreoffice.org.
