Description Robert 2014-12-28 00:29:32 UTC
In the Online Update Options (Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Online Update) the "Last Checked:" timestamp is formatted as 12/28/14, 12:15:00 AM.

The language settings are 

User Interface: Default - English (USA)
Locale Setting: Default - English (UK)

The user selected date and time and time formats for Windows are 

date: yyyy-mm-dd
time: hh:mm:ss (24-hour times)

IMHO the user-selected settings for Windows should override all others!

The bug is still present in

Version: 5.0.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 2b9802c1994aa0b7dc6079e128979269cf95bc78
Locale: en-GB (en_GB)

The claimed locale is strictly speaking correct, which would mean it's not a bug. However the locale has been changed via the Control Panel to display dates in ISO8601 format and times in 24 hour format, so strictly speaking it's ***NO LONGER*** a locale en-GB, but something customized, and LibreOffice should be able to use whatever date and time formats I use to be displayed in any system dialog, such as the one under discussion here!

PLEASE DO NOT ASK USERS TO DOWNLOAD AN OBSOLETE VERSION UNTIL SUCH A TIME THAT, EVEN ON WINDOZE, SEVERAL VERSIONS CAN BE USED CONCURRENTLY! I WILL FLATLY REFUSE TO DO SO!

And wipe out my existing installation on Windoze? 

The moment you make it possible to install multiple versions in parallel on Windoze, like on other OS'es, I *might* be willing to this!

Anyway, on 

Version: 5.4.5.1 (x64)

The message is still the same, US formatted date and time, on a system that uses ISO8601 dates and time formats.

Obviously nobody really gives a fluck about this, given that this problem has now been around for more than six years!
