Bug ID: 140050
Summary: Do not autoformat numbers in brackets
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-b...@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: heiko.tie...@documentfoundation.org

Entering a number in brackets converts it into the negative value. Like (1)
becomes -1. Without an option to switch this feature off one has to add a
single quote to ensure the entered content is text, eg. '(1).
The number in bracket format comes from accounting to better distinguish the
negative from positive numbers. But I understand it as the other way around,
negative numbers are shown differently. See also

I would expect a number format that is applied automatically when the number is
entered in brackets.
