Description Lyn 2026-01-26 03:15:35 UTC
Description:
I've been raising this issue for a long time and haven't been able to get it fixed. Cell format keeps intermittently defaulting to original. I manually correct it on the column and it stays good for a month or so then reverts again.This is what I am experiencing:
1. Positioning. I position to the left of the cell and it goes to the right.
2. Currency defaults back to numbers.

I cannot trigger the problem. It is at random and has been happening for a couple of years through all updates. I have also reinstalled Libreoffice from scratch on more than one occasion.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I can't
2. I can't
3. I can't

Actual Results:
I can't

Expected Results:
Format stays where I set it


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I said it all above

bug 163976.

I cannot test this in safe mode as it is random and as I have previously mentioned it could be a month or 2 before it recurs. I cannot trigger the problem. I would love to be able to give you something more positive but due to the intermittency of the problem, it is not possible.
