Public bug reported:
I have some macros that worked in OpenOffice (ubuntu 10.10) and do not work
properly in LibreOffice (Ubuntu 11.04). I have found that the "cdbl" function,
that converts a string to a double, fails at converting a number with a decimal
part, like "5.5".
I have run some tests, also changed the locale setting, and found that:
With an italian locale setting (decimal separator is comma) cdbl("5,5") equals
5 (and not 5,5 as it should) and cdbl("5.5") equals 55.
With an english locale setting (decimal separator is dot) cdbl ("5,5" equals 55
and cdbl("5.5") equals 5.
I suppose that cdbl simply ignores the numbers after the decimal
separator. It still can "see" the proper decimal separator, since using
different locales it behaves in different but consistent ways.
I suppose, but I am not sure, that also the clng function is affected by
the same bug.
