Description Paul Nelson 2013-04-24 00:31:44 UTC
1. In adding a date to a Calc cell, '4-19' as an abbrieviation no longer converts to the full date (4-19-13), but remains as '4-19'. '4/19' is now required, which is a nuisance.

   2. In editing a comment in a Calc cell, there is no longer a separate command with which to do so ('Edit comment), we must re-enter 'Insert Comment' and work with that. In fact, using the former abbreviation ('e' for 'Edit'), leads instead to deleting the entire comment ... thouigh it's possible to undo this result, fortunately.

Thank you for your report – unfortunately important information is missing.
Please read http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport as it will help you to
find out what information will be useful to reproduce your problem.
Also please file a separate bug for every issue. General rule is one bug = one report.

Comment 2 Paul Nelson 2013-06-26 14:36:27 UTC
     Dear Sirs,

     Your reply unfortunately does not include a copy of my original 
submission, which was done long enough ago to be dim in my own memory. 
Whether 'bugs' were involved in any formal sense, or simply suggestions 
for improvement, is not clear to me ... but I don't see how more 
information would be needed to clarify either.

     1. In entering dates in CALC, a hyphenated date (e. g. '6/25') is 
automatically converted (if the format has been set accordingly) to 
'6-25-13', as desired. However, writing it as '6-25' leads to no 
conversion at all, thouigh it used to do so. Could this option be restored?

     2. Under Comments, right-clicking for options, there used to be a 
choice (if there were already a comment in place in a particular cell) 
to 'Edit comment', which would at once make the comment available for 
editing. There is now no such choice, and we have to again use 'Insert 
comment' to get the same effect. Aside from the lack of sense in this, 
it is also quite easy to unintentionally erase the existing comment ... 
and only undoing that action will restore it, which is not intuitive in 
itself. Could 'Edit comment' be restored?

     Yours,

          -- Paul Nelson
