I agree they are important details. But I do not do anything regarding the %
symbol. I do not type it or remove it, I followed exactly (and only) the steps
you pointed to, that is:

1. Open a new spreadsheet
2. On cell A1, format it as percentage
3. While on that cell, press the number 2 on my keyboard, then press enter.

That is literally it.

I'm not trying to prove anything, I'm just showing what happens for me when I
follow the steps you asked me to follow. That was the only point of this
attachment, which at least illustrates the issue I'm facing.

Be great to have some insights as to what you're thinking about here. 

I have tried to look for settings that might affect this but with no luck. Also
I would have thought that Safe Mode would reset any settings to default, yet
I'm still facing the issue in Safe Mode.

> Unless you actually fully read and follow the additional details I posted

I'm not sure why you're implying I'm not reading all the details. I have read
them all, only none of them applied as I was not messing with the % sign. And
there were no additional details "to follow". As far as I can tell, I followed
your instruction to the letter, and then posted the output / reported back as
requested. One relevant point might be:

For me the % symbol does not appear automatically when I type the number 2 in
the cell.

One other thing is that I use spreadsheet extensively and everyday for my work,
have used exclusively OpenOffice, then LibreOffice since 1999 and have promoted
ODFs ever since. This is very much a new behaviour I had never encountered
before when dealing with percent formatted cells.

> at this point I can only say that I cannot reproduce the problem.

Out of curiosity, what LO version, OS, DE, display protocol (X11/Wayland) and
vcl are you using? I wonder if it might be a vcl or wayland related issue.
