User error, not a bug!

@enigma_pentag...@yahoo.com:
"###" simply shows that the column is too narrow, will be replaced by correct 
Date information when you increase column width.

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.
