Description Paul Steed 2014-05-20 10:41:06 UTC 
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter the date in UK style (dd/mm/yy) of 1/4/14 in a default formatted cell, or in a cell formatted using Format/Cells/Date/(any)

Current behavior:
shows as superscript 1/4 (quarter) /14

Expected behavior:
Will show as 1/4/14 or whatever Format/Cells/Date one chooses.

I have tried several other dates and they all work as expected. 
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 4.1.6.2 release

Hi Paul,

thanks for writing the issue.
I can confirm the behaviour (4.2.4.2). 

Of course one can turn off Tools > Autocorrect Options ... tab Options > Use Replacement Table (that one holds 1/4 to ¼ ) but ...

Was it OK in earlier versions, that you know?
best,
Cor

Hi For
As far as I know, the fault has always been there. Pleased to hear the
workaround.
Thanks
Paul
