I just managed to reproduce the bug with a new document. Started a completely
new spreadsheet, formatted column A to percent, entered 100% for the value of A1
and 1 for B1, which was unformatted. Save, close, reopen document and B1 showed
up as 100%.

It happens every single time I create a new document from scratch. If any column
as a whole is formatted to some type of variable (e.g. percent), everything from
that point rightward that has the same value (e.g. 100% followed by 1) will
revert to the preceding format. If you then add a value to the left of the
original (e.g a numerical one to the left of a percentile column with a 100%
value), the percentile will revert to number but the data it corrupted earlier
stays in the wrong format.

It also seems that formatting a single specific cell will sometimes allow that
cell to stay in the corrected format, but the results are neither predictable
nor reliable. I am unsure whether document size has any effect on that. The
Dom3DB document that I originally submitted doesn't seem to accept any
corrections but reverts constantly (even if ALL formats are removed and then
each column is reformatted separately), while a new 1-row spreadsheet sometimes
does and sometimes doesn't.

The bug might also have some relation to how OO adds new columns if one notices
a need for new columns to be added somewhere in between existing ones, which is
how many of the example file's columns have been added. The program seems to
read the column format from the left of the new one and tack that on instead of
leaving the new column unformatted, which may have some bearing on the problem.

This is using a complete install of OO 2.1 on Windows XP SP2. I suppose it is
possible that 2.2 has had this issue fixed and it will only show up on documents
created with earlier versions.
