--- Comment #2 from Jim Avera <jim.av...@gmail.com> ---
I think this is a bug because the documentation nowhere mentions that a digit
symbol must precede the decimal, and in fact there is an EXAMPLE in the docs of
a format without anything before the decimal (although it does not involve
negatives).

The format string docs are at

 
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/05020301.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=UNIX
 

The counter-example (sort of) is «.#,, "Million"»  at

 
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/guide/format_value_userdef.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3143268

FWIW, in the real application I had to hand-type the format string because the
Format Cells dialog options do not support what was needed (percentages with
different colors for both positive & negative values).

I probably omitted any leading '#' in a mistaken attempt to allow the column to
be narrower when all values were < 1.00%
