Description webmeister 2011-11-16 05:56:35 UTC
Created attachment 53600 [details]
ODS File contains fields with different formats.

Problem description: Cell formats show as same when they aren't.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In the attached document, select cells A3 through A12.
2. Select Format>Cells.  You see Number>General.  (This is not true.)  Click OK.
3. Select cells A5 through A12.
4. Select Format>Cells.  Now you see Text.

Current behavior: Shows cells A3 through A12 as same.  Click OK and nothing changes.

Expected behavior: Show cells as various.  (Give me some indication.)  Let me change the whole group in one setting.

reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.2 on Fedora 64 bit

The same problem exists with tables in Writer.

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Create table. 
(2) Assign category Percent to first cell. 
(3) Assign category Currency to next cell. 
(4) Mark both cells. 
(5) Display dialog “Number Format”. Now “Number” is displayed as Category and “Standard” is displayed as Format. I expect a display, that indicates, that the format is different. (e. g. for Category “different
categories” and for Format “different formats”).

I did some more research: 

(1) In Calc it is possible to change cells with different number formats as a group if you change the category. E.g. step 2 of initial report:

Format > Cells... > select category 'Currency' > OK

In this case all cells are formated as currency. The bug only appears, if you keep the displayed category.

(2) In Writer it is always possible to change cells with different number formats as a group. Only the displayed number format is wrong.


Bug still exists in version 5.2.2 with Win7.
Bug already exists in version 3.3.0. Hence inherited from OOo.
