------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Dec 3 13:27:59 -0800 2006 ------- In Calc, one can format column/cell date entries using Format -> Cells... -> Numbers -> Category = Date -> Format = 1999-12-31 to get ISO date formatting. However, when selecting a cell, the "Input Line" display appears to be formatted according to the Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages -> Locale setting. "Esperanto" matches ISO date format, but screws up other settings (e.g. decimal point/thousands separators). There really should be separate settings for separate UI categories, rather than being bundled under one poorly-named (date format has absolutely nothing to do with language) catch-all. 1. Open a new spreadsheet in Calc 2. Highlight a column heading, select Format -> Cells... -> Numbers -> Category = Date -> Format = 1999-12-31 3. enter a date, e.g. 2006-12-03 4. press Enter then navigate back to the cell 5. Observe that the "Input Line" display has a different format from that selected for the cell 6. Cuss loudly... Should either format "Input Line" in accordance with selected cell or provide a way to select formatting of UI "Input Line" independently for different categories (dates, times, currencies, etc.) I've marked this as "Enhancement", but "Input Line" formatting which conflicts with the user-specified cell formatting (and with no way to fix it without screwing up other things) is really a bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
