Description Tomasz 2014-04-17 11:30:30 UTC 
Problem description: 
I cannot change format type of cell

Steps to reproduce:
1. select some of cell in column (eg A3 to A5) and change format of cells to Text @ 

2. Select all A column (by pressing of A header) and change cells (ctrl-1)

3. Set Number -> General and press OK


Current behavior:
Note, that cell A3 to A5 still has a format of Text @

Expected behavior:
All cells in column (included A3-A5) should has format Number - General

Extra information:
When trying to change format to eg Number -> -1234 (format code 0) it works perfect.

Hi Tomasz, it's a duplicate of bug 42989 which speaks about:
- different formatting not shown when the range is selected
- impossible to change the whole range to one formatting
