Sorry I just tried this in a fresh install
3.1.1
OOO310m19(build9420)
The PC desktop is set to ISO dates, so 2009-11-12 is a correct date format and
is accepted and used by all (my) programs.
in a blank document insert 2009-11-12 this is fine
add a table, in one of the cells insert 2009-11-12
on leaving the cell, the date is mangled into an unknown format including
slashes!!!
There is no obvious way of formatting the cell for dates, and if there were,
shouldn't it use the machine setting?
This bug causes any dates to be input or pasted into a writer table to be
mangled and the data lost.
Many Many people, me included, use writer for manuals, the standard way of
formatting is the simple 1.2.3 heading
A manual will consist of many sections which may or may not be formatted using
tables. If a section number is inserted in to a table it also is mangled into
an unknown format.
The point is not that this behaviour may be turned of, but why it exists in the
first place, and why it is enabled by default.
You may believe that you are cleaning up unimportant issues by labelling them as
support, but it is the likes of ME who has to pick up the pieces of this shoddy
coding.
