Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. In Calc, set language of font to French 2. type in a cell "<positive value>e-<integer>" such as 2,6e-3 3. validate Current behavior: Value is not recognized and is treated as text because 'e' is superscript because it is detected as ordinal number Expected behavior: The value should be recognized and AutoCorrect to ordinal number not activated If the significand is negative or start with '+', no problem, the value is recognized. If exponent is positive (without space after 'e'!), no problem, the value is recognized. If a upper 'E' is used instead of lower 'e', no problem, the value is recognized. The version (3.6.7) is the first version where I noticed that ordinal numbers are recognized in French, but it can be previously. Same behavior in LibO 4.1.2 RC2 Operating System: All Version: 3.6.7.2 release
Of course, it is necessary that AutoCorrect Option > Localized Options > Format ordinal numbers suffixes (1st -> 1^st) is checked to reproduce the bug.
Hi Laurent, Cannot reproduce with - following the e xith LO 4.0.5.2 I've got autocorrection as ordinal number only when the "e" is followed by a space. Can you test with a more recent version than 3.6.7 ?
As mentioned by GerardF, I got mixed with version. Sorry. - The bug IS present in 4.1.0.a1, 4.1.0.4 and 4.1.2 RC2 - The bug is NOT present in 3.6.7, 4.0.5.2
Confirmed also with 4.2.0alpha0
