Sorry, here is the screenshot: http://dotancohen.com/images/ooo_calc_date.png > Are you talking about when she enters and displays yyyy-mm-dd and after > it displays correctly, and then clicking on the date and all of a sudden > it automagically appears as mm-dd-yyyy? But after editing it reappears > in the correct format in the cell? That's what mine does if I set the > language to Hebrew with a US english locale. > The US date shows as mm/dd/yyyy as opposed to mm-dd-yyyy but in essence, yes. > It will be helpful if you can provide more details: > > 1. What are the locale settings on her machine? Ouf! She had it set to US_en. I was five nine certain that her locale was en_DK. It seems that I was misconfiguring her locale, when I set the locale in /etc/environment the setting was respected by OOo. So either OOo disregards the user's locale and goes right for the system locale, or I don't know what I'm doing (most likely the second!). > 2. What OS? Kubuntu 8.04, sorry. > 3. What are the settings in: Tools|Options|Language Settings|Languages It was: Locale Setting: Hebrew Now it is (and I will leave it this way): Danish > 4. What are the settings in Format|Cell|Date yyyy-mm-dd This is the problem! When editing a cell, I want the editing format to be the same as the display format. Not the same as the locale format. > 5. What bugs you _think_ may be related. Now that I have better identified the problem (what I answered in the previous question) I see that none of the bugs that I have open 100% address the issue. I will go through the Calc options very carefully and google tonight. If I cannot find out how to set Calc to use the display format as the edit format, then I will file a new issue. Thanks, Greg, I always appreciate your help. Now that I see that I was sloppy about the locale I am better armed to google my way out of this.
