ENTERING a date gives not the expected date (btw 1691 and 1790)

When entering a date between 1690-04-06 and 1791-07-27 the indicated value is shifted by one day. This is independent of the calculation mode: 1900-01-01 and 1899-12-30 both show the same behaviour. 
Since it's at the same date (not number) this might be intentional?
I've found nothing in the docs.
I cannot see any situation where this is of positive value. At least: it is absolutely undesirable in Germany (and probably most other countries). So if you not simply correct that behaviour there must be a place where a user can change it.
[Explanation to the snippet:
within s row the values entered are identical, the first column formatted as "Text", the second as "Date", the third as "Number"]

I think this one is a DUP of "Bug 52619 - EDITING: 1 day is subtracted if typed date is before July 26, 1790".
