It's not that apparent to notice indeed. So, I think the proper behavior should be displaying part of the date as an indication that the rest is hidden due to space limitation or popping out a message to tell the user that s/he needs to increase the width/length of the cell to display its content.

This is a feature so you know that there is more data. Instead possibly an arrow can be shown to signify there is more data. This is probably good behavior for numbers which could be interpreted a being complete even though they are not, but dates might be considered different. Open the example spreadsheet provided and take a look at the first column filled with dates in ascending order. All the cells for Wednesdays are displayed as "###" where I would expect something like "Wed 08.03 13" ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: libreoffice-calc 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-18.29-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Feb 24 20:59:00 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-08-13 (195 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-10-19 (128 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1132531/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
